Name: Pinus echinata - Quercus alba / Viburnum (dentatum, acerifolium) Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This mesic to dry-mesic forest of the West Gulf Coastal Plain is typified by an overstory of both <i>Pinus echinata</i> and <i>Quercus alba</i>. In high-quality examples, <i>Pinus taeda</i> is rare to absent as would have been expected in most areas of the presettlement landscape. <i>Quercus alba</i> may be more important than <i>Pinus echinata</i> in some examples, possibly those which have received the least amount of disturbance. These are normally closed forests above a well-developed subcanopy of mixed hardwoods. The density and composition of the shrub and herbaceous layers vary greatly depending upon a number of factors, including the range of moisture and potential nutrient conditions which are possible in stands assigned to this type. <i>Viburnum dentatum</i> and <i>Viburnum acerifolium</i> are listed as nominals suggesting the most mesic stands of this type; somewhat less mesic examples may lack these species.
