Name: Quercus alba - Quercus (falcata, stellata) / Chasmanthium laxum Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This association represents mesic oak forests in The Barrens region of the southeastern Highland Rim of Tennessee. Its range may extend into the Upper East Gulf Coastal Plain as well. The canopy is dominated by Quercus alba and/or Quercus falcata and Quercus stellata. Other Quercus species may be present in the canopy, such as Quercus velutina and Quercus coccinea, along with several Carya species, such as Carya alba, Carya ovata, and Carya glabra. This association is found on uplands along intermittent streams and drainages which grades into forests of wetter areas where Quercus phellos becomes codominant in the canopy. Prunus serotina usually is present as a minor component of the canopy and/or subcanopy. The moderately dense subcanopy/shrub layer is dominated by Acer rubrum but may also include Cornus florida, Oxydendrum arboreum, Nyssa sylvatica, and Liquidambar styraciflua. Hypericum hypericoides often is present as a low-growing shrub. The herbaceous stratum in this community contains mesic to wet species such as Uvularia sessilifolia, Houstonia caerulea, Thelypteris noveboracensis, Chasmanthium laxum, Mitchella repens, Polytrichum commune, and Sphagnum spp. Thalictrum revolutum and Krigia biflora are also common in this community.  Accession Code: VB.CC.25026.QUERCUSALBAQUER Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
