Name: Pinus taeda - (Quercus spp.) / Ostrya virginiana - Sabal minor Calcareous West Gulf Coastal Plain Transition Sideslope Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This Pinus taeda-dominated forest occurs in the southwestern extremity of the Upper West Gulf Coastal Plain of Texas and may occur elsewhere in the region. The most characteristic feature of this community is the strong dominance of Sabal minor. The overstory is dominated by Pinus taeda, followed closely by Quercus nigra, Ostrya virginiana, and Liquidambar styraciflua. Ostrya virginiana and Fraxinus americana are the most important midstory species. The understory is strongly dominated by Sabal minor with patches of sedges (Carex spp.) and other herbaceous species infrequently scattered throughout. Many of the plant species present are believed to indicate a rich nutrient and/or pH status in the region.
