Name: Quercus nigra Ruderal Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community is a result of disturbance and/or fire suppression of upland pinelands of the southeastern Coastal Plain and of pinelands and subsequent old fields in the adjacent Piedmont areas. This association occurs on mesic or dry-mesic sites, especially on loamy or other fine-textured soils (in contrast to ~<i>Quercus hemisphaerica - Quercus nigra</i> Forest Alliance (A0053)$$, which occurs primarily on coarse-textured sands in drier situations). <i>Quercus nigra</i> dominates the tree canopy. Other oaks (e.g., <i>Quercus falcata, Quercus phellos, Quercus hemisphaerica</i>) may be intermixed, as well as <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i>, remnant <i>Pinus palustris</i>, weedy <i>Pinus elliottii var. elliottii, Carya</i> spp., or <i>Pinus taeda</i>. In the Upper Gulf Coastal Plain of Georgia, some examples may contain <i>Fagus grandifolia, Liriodendron tulipifera, Carya alba</i>, and <i>Cornus florida</i> in the subcanopy.
