Name: Pinus (echinata, taeda) - Quercus pagoda Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community is currently known from the Natchez Trace Parkway, and this description is based on its occurrence there. Additional information will be added as it becomes available. This mixed pine - cherrybark oak forest was sampled twice in the park. Sites are a gentle upper slope and ridge with well-drained silty clay soil. The unvegetated surface is dominated by litter/duff with some wood and bare soil. Evidence of disturbance includes roads/trails, wind damage, fire suppression, and the presence of exotic plants. The canopy and subcanopy are codominated by <i>Pinus echinata, Pinus taeda</i>, and <i>Quercus pagoda</i>; additional tree species can include <i>Fraxinus americana, Liquidambar styraciflua, Nyssa sylvatica, Quercus nigra</i>, and <i>Ulmus alata</i>. The shrub layers are made up of canopy species along with <i>Carya</i> spp. and other <i>Quercus</i> spp. Herbs and vines are sparse. This community also supports Mississippi state-rare <i>Magnolia tripetala</i>.
