Name: Pinus taeda - Quercus stellata / Crataegus spp. Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: These upland Pinus taeda - Quercus stellata-dominated communities occur in the Gulf Coastal Plain, most frequently west of the Mississippi River. Depending upon management history, these stands range from open and woodland-like to fairly closed and dense. The understory varies accordingly from viney (Toxicodendron radicans, Gelsemium sempervirens, Parthenocissus quinquefolia, etc.) to herbaceous (Schizachyrium scoparium, with plentiful legumes and asters). Several Crataegus spp. are often present in the shrub layer of these stands, possibly indicating the rich nutrient status of the soils.
