Name: Pinus taeda - (Pinus echinata) - Quercus falcata - Carya texana / Vaccinium arboreum Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This dry-mesic to dry mixed <i>Pinus taeda</i>-hardwood forest is found in the West Gulf Coastal Plain and Upper West Gulf Coastal Plain. The overstory is collectively dominated by hardwoods, although <i>Pinus taeda</i> may be the single most important and largest diameter species in most examples. The canopy tends to be closed with individual pine stems somewhat emergent over existing hardwoods. The single most important and diagnostic hardwood is <i>Quercus falcata</i>, although other species may also be important. Species associated with mesic conditions in the region are typically lacking or present in very low levels of abundance only, as are species typical of much drier environments of the region.
