Name: Quercus virginiana - Magnolia grandiflora - Quercus pagoda - Celtis laevigata / Sabal minor Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This association includes upland forests on loess-derived silt loams of coastal salt domes of Louisiana and upland forests on salt domes of coastal Texas on soils not derived from loess. The canopy in Louisiana occurrences is dominated by Quercus virginiana, Magnolia grandiflora, Quercus pagoda, Ulmus americana, Celtis laevigata, Liquidambar styraciflua, Tilia americana var. caroliniana, Quercus nigra, and Carya glabra. Fagus grandifolia is absent. A sparse shrub layer of Sabal minor, Vitis rotundifolia, Smilax rotundifolia, and the alien Parathesis crenulata (= Ardisia crenulata) is present. Quercus virginiana typically codominates the closed canopy of this community in Texas. Other codominants can include Carya illinoinensis and Celtis laevigata, while Magnolia grandiflora is typically present but in smaller amounts. The epiphyte Pleopeltis polypodioides (= Polypodium polypodioides) is quite common in canopy trees. The patchy to dense understory consists of Prunus caroliniana, Ilex vomitoria, Callicarpa americana, and Aesculus pavia. The herb layer is typically sparse and includes Oplismenus hirtellus ssp. setarius (= Oplismenus setarius), Sanicula canadensis, Malvaviscus arboreus var. drummondii (= Malvaviscus drummondii), and Elephantopus carolinianus. Common woody vines include Parthenocissus quinquefolia, Toxicodendron radicans, Rubus sp., Ampelopsis arborea, and Smilax bona-nox.  Accession Code: VB.CC.25928.QUERCUSVIRGINIA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
