Name: Quercus virginiana - Quercus hemisphaerica - Pinus taeda - Quercus falcata / Persea palustris Forest
Reference:
Description: These generally closed forests of the mainland coastal fringe of the Atlantic Coast have diverse canopies and well-developed shrub strata. Examples of this association resemble maritime forests of the region, but can be distinguished by a lack of salt pruning due to their occurrence along low, often moist, coastal areas protected from the most constant maritime influences. In addition, examples of this forest are also somewhat more diverse than typical maritime forests of the region and may support species typically lacking from maritime forests, such as <i>Quercus falcata</i> and <i>Carya glabra</i>. Vines are often conspicuous and abundant, but the herbaceous stratum is typically sparse and low in diversity and shares much in common with maritime forests. Canopies are dominated by <i>Quercus virginiana, Quercus hemisphaerica</i>, and <i>Pinus taeda.</i> Possibly the most constant and characteristic understory species is <i>Persea palustris</i>, although others may also be present.
