Name: Quercus prinus - Quercus alba / Oxydendrum arboreum / Vitis rotundifolia Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This forest, dominated by Quercus prinus, occurs mainly on resistant ridges (monadnocks) over felsic rock of the Piedmont from Virginia to Alabama, and sparingly in the low mountains of, at least, North Carolina. Soils that are well-drained, acidic and nutrient-poor contribute to low species richness. Quercus prinus is dominant or codominant in some occurrences with Quercus alba. Other canopy species include Quercus falcata, Carya alba, Quercus marilandica, Quercus coccinea, Nyssa sylvatica, Acer rubrum, Pinus echinata, and Quercus stellata. The subcanopy is dominated by Oxydendrum arboreum with Cornus florida. The herb and shrub layers are sparse, with Vitis rotundifolia as a typical component.  Accession Code: VB.CC.24576.QUERCUSPRINUSQU Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
