Name: Pinus echinata - (Pinus taeda) - Quercus (margarettiae, stellata, falcata) - Carya texana Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This association represents very dry or "subxeric" forests west of the Mississippi River (Upper West Gulf Coastal Plain and West Gulf Coastal Plain ecoregions) dominated by Pinus echinata and a variety of oak species, such as Quercus margarettiae, Quercus stellata, and Quercus falcata. This forest differs from other documented sandhill types of the region by exhibiting very dry but not xeric conditions. The fairly species-rich understory is indicative of this moisture status and includes a number of legume species, such as Stylosanthes biflora, Desmodium canescens, Centrosema virginianum, Lespedeza hirta, Galactia regularis, Baptisia nuttalliana, and members of the Asteraceae family (Rudbeckia hirta, Pityopsis graminifolia, Vernonia texana, Berlandiera pumila). Tragia urticifolia and Croton argyranthemus are also indicative. Herbs of the most extreme xeric sites in the region are typically lacking (Stylisma pickeringii, Eriogonum multiflorum, Eriogonum longifolium) or in very low levels of abundance (Erythrina herbacea, Cnidoscolus texanus).  Accession Code: VB.CC.24874.PINUSECHINATAPI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
