Name: Quercus phellos - Quercus (pagoda, similis) - Pinus taeda / Chasmanthium laxum Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This oak flat forest occurs on interstream flats over moist to wet soils in the Outer Coastal Plain of Georgia and possibly South Carolina. These communities never receive overland flooding from rivers and streams; soils are inundated by rainwater and a seasonally high water table. <i>Quercus phellos</i> is often the most dominant species and characterizes the community. <i>Quercus pagoda, Quercus similis</i>, and <i>Quercus michauxii</i> in some combination are also dominant in the canopy, along with <i>Pinus taeda</i>. Other canopy/subcanopy species include <i>Quercus laurifolia, Quercus virginiana, Quercus nigra, Acer rubrum, Ulmus americana, Liquidambar styraciflua, Nyssa sylvatica</i>, and <i>Pinus glabra</i>. Common shrubs and woody vines include <i>Sabal minor, Vaccinium</i> spp., <i>Morella cerifera, Crataegus</i> spp., <i>Smilax</i> spp., <i>Toxicodendron radicans</i>, and <i>Bignonia capreolata</i>. Dominant herbs are <i>Chasmanthium laxum, Scleria</i> spp., and <i>Mitchella repens</i>. Hydrologically, this community lies at the conceptual boundary of upland and wetland communities.
