Name: Pinus taeda - Quercus alba / Chasmanthium sessiliflorum Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This forest of the East Gulf Coastal Plain is dominated by <i>Pinus taeda</i> and <i>Quercus alba</i>. It is a naturally occurring community which may bear some resemblance to, but should not be confused with, successional loblolly stands. Examples are most typically found on upper to midslopes in dissected topography both within the range of longleaf pine and north of this range. <i>Pinus taeda</i> and <i>Quercus alba</i> are the most constant and diagnostic species of this association. A number of other hardwoods may be present in stands but they occur in low levels of importance. Woody vines and shrubs may be frequent, and herbs are typically sparse and not very diverse. This forest tends to occur in landscapes affected by frequent fire, but this community is less fire-prone than adjacent upland vegetation.
