Name: Pinus virginiana Successional Ruderal Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This successional Virginia pine forest of the southeastern states occurs in areas where canopy removal has created dry, open conditions and bare mineral soil, allowing for the establishment of <i>Pinus virginiana</i>. These habitats include old fields, old pastures, clearcuts, and eroded areas; soils are typically dry, acidic, and infertile. It is common on abandoned farmland. This forest typically has a very dense canopy of <i>Pinus virginiana</i> and little understory vegetation. The dense canopy may also include admixtures of other <i>Pinus</i> species (e.g., <i>Pinus taeda, Pinus echinata, Pinus rigida, Pinus strobus</i>) or other early-successional deciduous trees (e.g., <i>Acer rubrum, Liquidambar styraciflua, Prunus serotina, Liriodendron tulipifera, Fraxinus americana, Nyssa sylvatica</i>). Associated woody and herbaceous species vary with geography but are typically ruderal or exotic species. Shrub and herb layers are frequently very sparse. Stands are short-lived, generally less than 75 years.  Accession Code: VB.CC.34750.CEGL002591 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
