Name: Castanea dentata - Quercus rubra Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This community, dominated by <i>Castanea dentata</i> and <i>Quercus rubra</i>, is broadly defined and poorly known, since the type is now extinct, due to the reduction of <i>Castanea dentata</i> to a stump-sprouting shrub by the introduction and spread of <i>Cryphonectria parasitica</i> (Chestnut Blight). This community was once common in the southern Appalachian Mountains. There is some hope for the potential recovery of this community, or something resembling it, if a blight-resistant chestnut can be developed and introduced.  Accession Code: VB.CC.36179.CEGL007286 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
