Name: Quercus velutina - Quercus coccinea - Quercus prinus / Kalmia latifolia Forest Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association comprises coastal oak-laurel forests occurring on sandy and gravelly soils on convex slopes. Characteristic dominants are Quercus coccinea, Quercus velutina, Quercus prinus, and Quercus alba. Pines (Pinus rigida, Pinus echinata, or Pinus virginiana) may be present at low cover in some examples. Kalmia latifolia is the dominant shrub forming extensive, dense patches, with other ericaceous shrubs such as Vaccinium pallidum, Vaccinium stamineum, and Gaylussacia baccata contributing low cover. The herbaceous layer is sparse due to the dense Kalmia latifolia and may include Pteridium aquilinum, Gaultheria procumbens, Carex pensylvanica, and Carex albicans.  Accession Code: VB.CC.27994.QUERCUSVELUTINA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
