Name: Fagus grandifolia - Magnolia grandiflora / Ilex opaca - (Persea borbonia) / Mitchella repens Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This forest occurs in ravines, protected coves, and sometimes on broad upland flats protected from fire in the Atlantic Coastal Plain. These are upland sites which are not subject to flooding, or sometimes in temporarily flooded situations. Intact examples are closed canopy consisting of Fagus grandifolia, Magnolia grandiflora, Pinus glabra, Quercus alba, Quercus hemisphaerica, and Carya glabra. The subcanopy includes Ilex opaca, Osmanthus americanus var. americanus, Cornus florida, and Persea borbonia. The shrub stratum includes Arundinaria gigantea ssp. tecta, Callicarpa americana, Euonymus americana, Hamamelis virginiana, Parthenocissus quinquefolia, Symplocos tinctoria, Vaccinium elliottii, and Vaccinium virgatum. The herb stratum is very open, and may contain Mitchella repens, Hexastylis arifolia var. arifolia, Polystichum acrostichoides, and Scleria triglomerata. The vascular epiphytes Pleopeltis polypodioides ssp. michauxiana and Tillandsia usneoides are often common. This association is distinguished from those of the Gulf Coastal Plain by the absence of many species variously occurring in Gulf Coastal Plain associations.  Accession Code: VB.CC.26694.FAGUSGRANDIFOLI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
