Name: Robinia pseudoacacia Forest Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: Stands of this alliance are forests where Robinia pseudoacacia occurs in pure stands or makes up the majority of the canopy. These are short-lived forests that typically result from planting or invasion following land abandonment or fire, or from other severe disturbance. Stands are usually small (10-15 ha, 30-40 acres), with associated species varying widely depending on geography and habitat. Robinia pseudoacacia has been planted widely and has became naturalized throughout the United States, southern Canada, and parts of Europe and Asia. The natural range of Robinia pseudoacacia is disjunct, with an eastern section centered in the Appalachian Mountains, from central Pennsylvania and southern Ohio, south to northeastern Alabama, northern Georgia, and northwestern South Carolina, and a western section in the Ozarks and Ouachita Mountains of Missouri, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. Forests in this alliance are found locally throughout the eastern United States and in southern Canada on a wide range of sites, but are best developed on moist, rich, loamy soils or those of limestone origin.  Accession Code: VB.CC.28491.ROBINIAPSEUDOAC Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
