Name: Pinus echinata - Quercus stellata - Quercus falcata - Carya texana Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This Pinus echinata - Quercus stellata woodland occurs on dry, acid, loamy to clayey uplands in the West Gulf Coastal Plain of Louisiana and Texas. The canopy is dominated by Pinus echinata and Quercus stellata. Other important overstory trees include Quercus falcata, Carya texana, and Carya alba. The understory tends to be quite open and herb-dominated, and may be quite species-rich. Most of the former examples of this woodland have been fire-suppressed resulting in more closed forests, in which Pinus taeda has become an important overstory tree.
