Name: Pinus taeda - Quercus alba - (Fagus grandifolia) / Ilex opaca / Smilax pumila - Mitchella repens Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This acidic, mesic mixed forest of the West Gulf Coastal Plain may best be described as hardwood - loblolly forest. Taken together, hardwoods are more abundant and important than are pines, however, <i>Pinus taeda</i> may be the single most dominant species in the overstory with individual trees attaining large diameters and height. The core concept of this type are stands with a significant component of mesic site species in all strata, although somewhat slightly drier forms may be included as long as <i>Quercus alba</i> is important in the overstory. This type occurs in a variety of ecological settings in the region, including middle and lower slopes between uplands and stream bottoms and at the heads of drainages along small, intermittent streams on acidic sandy loams, silt loams and silty clays, and mesic situations in flatwoods environments.
