Name: Pinus echinata / Vaccinium (arboreum, pallidum, stamineum) Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This shortleaf pine / blueberry forest type is found in the Interior Highlands region of the United States, including the Ouachita Mountains and Ozarks of Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri. Stands occur on dry, thin-soil slopes. Soils may be somewhat acidic, often overlaying a variety of acidic bedrock substrates, including chert, igneous or sandstone material. This is a mid-successional to mature forest with the canopy dominated by <i>Pinus echinata</i>. A subcanopy of oaks, such as <i>Quercus alba, Quercus stellata</i>, and <i>Quercus falcata</i>, may be present and may succeed into the canopy in the prolonged absence of fire. <i>Cornus florida</i> is also typically present. Shrub and herbaceous strata may be sparse to dense, with any of <i>Vaccinium arboreum, Vaccinium pallidum, Vaccinium stamineum</i>, or <i>Aesculus glabra</i> present. Dry forest herbs are typical. In northern Arkansas (Springfield Plateau), these forests occur naturally on steep slopes, over cherty residuum of the Boone Formation. They also occur on sandstone shelf bluffs in the Ozarks.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:31308-{172B9EB0-A4A2-4E65-A757-F282EDA1BA37} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
