Name: Quercus alba - Quercus stellata - Carya carolinae-septentrionalis / Acer leucoderme - Cercis canadensis Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This Piedmont forest occurs on soils derived from mafic rocks, in the Carolina Slate Belt and possibly elsewhere. The canopy is dominated by Quercus alba and Quercus stellata. Also present and diagnostic of this type are woody species indicative of rich, circumneutral, or mafic conditions in the region, especially Carya carolinae-septentrionalis, Ostrya virginiana, Cercis canadensis var. canadensis, Acer leucoderme, Fraxinus americana, and Ulmus alata. Other woody species may include Carya glabra, Carya alba, Pinus echinata, Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana, Cornus florida, Quercus phellos, Acer rubrum var. rubrum, and Ilex decidua. Shrubs and woody vines include Vaccinium arboreum and Vitis rotundifolia. The herb stratum is sparse and has scattered individuals of species such as Danthonia spicata, Clitoria mariana, Chimaphila maculata, Scleria sp., and Asplenium platyneuron.  Accession Code: VB.CC.26266.QUERCUSALBAQUER Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
