Name: Quercus alba - Quercus velutina - Carya (ovata, alba, glabra) - Pinus sp. Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This dry-mesic upland forest of the southern Appalachians and Cumberland Plateau/Southern Ridge and Valley is dominated by <i>Quercus alba, Quercus velutina</i>, and several <i>Carya</i> spp. (<i>Carya ovata, Carya alba, Carya glabra, Carya pallida</i>) and contains a variable amount of <i>Pinus virginiana</i> or <i>Pinus taeda</i>. <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i> can also be important in some examples. Several other <i>Quercus</i> spp. may be present in the canopy (<i>Quercus falcata, Quercus stellata, Quercus coccinea, Quercus muehlenbergii</i>, and <i>Quercus rubra</i>). The understory contains <i>Acer rubrum</i> and <i>Oxydendrum arboreum</i>. In the Ridge and Valley of northeastern Monroe County, Tennessee, this type occurs as disturbed stands with sparse shrub and herb strata. At Chickamauga-Chattanooga National Military Park, this association occurs in sheltered locations on a sandstone ridge that forms the structural spine of Moccasin Bend.
