Name: Quercus muehlenbergii - Carya spp. / Ostrya virginiana Upper East Gulf Coastal Plain Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This dry-mesic to mesic chinquapin oak - mixed oak-hickory forest association is found in the Upper East Gulf Coastal Plain of Tennessee. It has been documented at Shiloh National Military Park (Hardin County, Tennessee). The canopy is dominated by a mixture of <i>Quercus muehlenbergii, Quercus alba</i>, and <i>Quercus velutina</i>, with <i>Fraxinus americana</i> and <i>Juglans nigra</i> in smaller amounts or in the understory. <i>Carya</i> spp. are prominent in the canopy and subcanopy, including <i>Carya ovata, Carya ovalis, Carya tomentosa</i>, and <i>Carya glabra</i>. All the lower woody strata contain substantial <i>Ostrya virginiana</i>. The one stand sampled is near an ancient (Woodland Period) Native American mound complex very near the Tennessee River. The vegetation could be influenced by shells and shell fragments in the soil. The site could be a former shell midden, but this has not been investigated.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:32760-{2DAE24B0-5927-4FE8-BE8D-26136543D280} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
