Name: Pinus echinata - Pinus taeda - Quercus (alba, falcata, stellata) Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This forest association of the West Gulf Coastal Plain and Upper West Gulf Coastal Plain ecoregions is codominated by <i>Pinus echinata</i> and <i>Pinus taeda</i> with some combination of the nominal oaks, <i>Quercus alba, Quercus falcata</i>, and <i>Quercus stellata</i>. Stands assigned to this type should have near-equal proportions of at least two of the nominal oak species; stands which are more obviously dominated by a single species are covered by other associations. These are apparently natural forests that may occur both within and beyond the range of <i>Pinus palustris</i>. They tend to occur on slopes and in nonriverine flatwoods environments. They generally occupy sites of intermediate moisture status somewhat drier than typical <i>Pinus taeda</i> communities, and somewhat more mesic than typical <i>Pinus echinata</i> or <i>Pinus palustris</i> communities.
