Name: Quercus phellos - Quercus (alba, stellata) - Carya carolinae-septentrionalis Hardpan Wet Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association occurs sparsely throughout the Piedmont of North Carolina and possibly South Carolina. One occurrence is known in southern Virginia. It is found on upland flats with dense clay soils that inhibit internal drainage, and where water pools on the surface only to shallow depths and largely outside of the growing season. The vegetation is a forest with a mixture of wetland and upland species in all strata. Some combination of <i>Quercus phellos, Quercus alba, Quercus stellata</i>, and <i>Carya carolinae-septentrionalis</i> generally dominate. The subcanopy usually includes <i>Juniperus virginiana</i> and <i>Nyssa sylvatica</i>. Frequent shrub species include <i>Ilex verticillata, Ilex decidua, Eubotrys racemosa</i>, various upland <i>Vaccinium</i> spp., and <i>Viburnum rafinesqueanum</i>. <i>Smilax rotundifolia</i> is often prominent. The herbaceous layer is generally sparse, with various wetland <i>Carex</i> spp., <i>Juncus effusus</i>, and <i>Danthonia spicata</i> most constant and most abundant.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:32883-{7B5A21D3-196A-4A6C-97D0-7AE3FEE44E7E} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 5
