Name: Pinus taeda - Liriodendron tulipifera / Acer saccharum Ruderal Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This successional forest dominated by <i>Pinus taeda</i> has low levels of hardwoods present in the overstory and a potentially well-developed subcanopy. <i>Liriodendron tulipifera</i> and/or <i>Acer saccharum</i> (or <i>Acer barbatum</i> within its range) are characteristic species of this community that broadly indicate stands found in the most interior portions of the range of <i>Pinus taeda</i> in the southeastern United States; more southerly stands with <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i> are covered by another association [see ~<i>Pinus taeda - Liquidambar styraciflua</i> Semi-natural Forest (CEGL008462)$$]. <i>Liriodendron tulipifera</i> may reach the canopy but generally comprises less than 25% of total cover. In addition to <i>Liriodendron tulipifera</i>, a variety of other canopy species are possible. Other woody species documented in plots include <i>Acer rubrum, Prunus serotina var. serotina, Quercus velutina, Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana, Cornus florida</i>, and <i>Carya</i> spp. Examples over limestone may include <i>Fraxinus americana,</i><i> Celtis laevigata</i>, or <i>Ulmus</i> sp. The herbaceous and shrub strata may contain <i>Toxicodendron radicans, Smilax rotundifolia, Goodyera pubescens, Chimaphila maculata, Galium circaezans, Galium pilosum, Parthenocissus quinquefolia, Polystichum acrostichoides, Pleopeltis polypodioides, Matelea</i> sp., and <i>Vaccinium</i> spp.
