Name: Quercus falcata Flatwoods Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This southern red oak flatwoods forest is found in parts of the Interior Low Plateau and adjacent areas of the Upper East Gulf Coastal Plain of the southern United States. Stands occur on somewhat poorly drained sites. The vegetation is dominated by Quercus falcata. It is perhaps marginally a wetland and is better drained than Quercus phellos flatwoods. The canopy may also contain some Quercus alba and Quercus stellata, and possibly Carya alba. The ground cover is predominantly leaf litter and most occurrences are thought to be fire-suppressed. It is known historically from the Upper East Gulf Coastal Plain of western Kentucky (eastern Gulf Coastal Plain on tertiary terraces), western Tennessee, and northwestern Mississippi (the 'flatwoods belt'), as well as the Shawnee Hills and the Knobs region of Kentucky. See the dissertation of Wharton (1945) for information on this association in the Knobs region.  Accession Code: VB.CC.25260.QUERCUSFALCATAF Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
