Name: Quercus pagoda / Ostrya virginiana Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This dry-mesic forest community is restricted to apparently calcareous-influenced or basic soils associated with high terraces and adjacent slopes in western Tennessee and possibly adjacent areas. These are upland stands with a significant, if not dominant, component of Quercus pagoda. A number of other hardwoods may also be present, such as Quercus velutina, Liquidambar styraciflua, Carya ovalis, Liriodendron tulipifera, Quercus rubra, and Quercus imbricaria. The subcanopy may be heavily dominated by Ostrya virginiana and may also contain Ulmus alata, Juniperus virginiana, Fraxinus americana, and Acer rubrum. These forests are on distinctly upland areas isolated from the river floodplains.  Accession Code: VB.CC.25096.QUERCUSPAGODAOS Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
