Name: Pinus taeda - Pinus echinata / Chasmanthium sessiliflorum Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This mixed pine forest found in the upper Coastal Plain west of the Mississippi River is codominated by <i>Pinus echinata</i> and <i>Pinus taeda</i>. These forested communities naturally occur in limited areas of the region, typically on dry uplands but occasionally on more mesic sites. Hardwoods rarely enter the canopy of stands although occasional individuals may be present. Shrub composition and density are variable depending upon management regimes and moisture conditions. Stands with dense shrub layers tend to have sparse or patchy herbaceous layers, but some highly managed older stands (which have been thinned and frequently burned) can have a fairly abundant ground cover. <i>Chasmanthium sessiliflorum</i> is a typical ground layer dominant or codominant. This community occurs on a range of soil types, including clay loams, sandy loams underlain by clay, and even some deeper sands.
