Name: Quercus falcata - Quercus stellata - Carya alba / Vaccinium spp. Coastal Plain Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This forest occurs on dry, acidic soils in naturally fire-protected landscapes in the Atlantic Coastal Plain and portions of the lower East Gulf Coastal Plain and Upper East Gulf Coastal Plain. Examples are generally dominated by <i>Quercus falcata</i> and <i>Quercus stellata</i>, with less <i>Quercus alba</i>. In addition, <i>Carya alba</i> or <i>Carya pallida</i> may be a component. Pines (e.g., <i>Pinus echinata, Pinus palustris, Pinus taeda</i>) may be a significant component but are not dominant. Many examples have a well-developed subcanopy of <i>Cornus florida</i>. <i>Danthonia spicata</i> is the dominant herbaceous plant on some sites in Tennessee (Shiloh National Military Park).
