Name: Quercus pagoda - Carya cordiformis / Chasmanthium sessiliflorum - Verbesina virginica Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This mesic forest or woodland is described from the South Carolina Coastal Plain. It is associated with soils derived from calcareous materials. The canopy and subcanopy of the stand contains two distinct layers, with large emergent Pinus taeda, Quercus pagoda, Carya cordiformis, and Liriodendron tulipifera overtopping a denser subcanopy of Carya spp., Cornus florida, and Liquidambar styraciflua. A dominant shrub is Callicarpa americana. In addition to grasses, primarily Chasmanthium sessiliflorum and Tridens flavus, the herb layer codominance of tall Verbesina species (Verbesina occidentalis, Verbesina virginica) is striking. Other characteristic herbs (of higher nutrient conditions) include Anemone virginiana, Agrimonia pubescens, and Pycnanthemum pycnanthemoides (with high cover).
