Name: Pinus taeda Woodland Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: Woodlands of the Atlantic and Gulf coastal plains dominated by Pinus taeda. In the Atlantic Coastal Plain, natural examples of this alliance include maritime woodlands of barrier islands that occur on foredunes. Trees in these maritime woodlands often have multiple trunks and spreading branches. Herbaceous cover is usually low. Canopy associates include Quercus phellos, Quercus falcata, and Quercus virginiana. One rare community in this alliance occurs on swamp islands protected from fire in the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain. Associated species include Quercus hemisphaerica, Osmanthus americanus var. americanus, Ilex glabra, Ilex opaca var. opaca, Persea palustris, and Quercus nigra. Other associations, including some vegetation of Louisiana, result from thinning of plantations, or disturbance by fire of Pinus taeda forests. One other semi-natural example occurs on military reservations and is at least in part the result of fires set by military training. It may occur both within or outside of the natural range of Pinus palustris. In the former case, it is present where Pinus palustris has failed to regenerate.  Accession Code: VB.CC.24289.PINUSTAEDAWOODL Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
