Name: Quercus falcata - Quercus stellata - Carya alba / Vaccinium spp. Coastal Plain Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This forest occurs on dry, acidic soils in naturally fire-protected landscapes in the Atlantic Coastal Plain and portions of the lower East Gulf Coastal Plain and Upper East Gulf Coastal Plain. Examples are generally dominated by Quercus falcata and Quercus stellata, with less Quercus alba. In addition, Carya alba or Carya pallida may be a component. Pines (e.g., Pinus echinata, Pinus palustris, Pinus taeda) may be a significant component but are not dominant. Many examples have a well-developed subcanopy of Cornus florida. Danthonia spicata is the dominant herbaceous plant on some sites in Tennessee (Shiloh National Military Park).
