Name: Pinus echinata - Quercus falcata East Gulf Coastal Plain Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association is one of several documented types of shortleaf pine - hardwood forests in the Upper East Gulf Coastal Plain. Stands are dominated by <i>Pinus echinata</i>, often with a significant hardwood component. The most characteristic hardwood, often the second most important overstory tree, is <i>Quercus falcata</i>. Other tree species may also be encountered in typical stands of this type, but they are generally lacking from the overstory or found only in limited abundance. Some stands may have <i>Quercus montana</i> as a component. A number of subcanopy, shrub, and herbaceous species may also be present; the specific floristic composition may vary among stands based on a number of factors. This type should be compared to other <i>Pinus echinata</i> communities of the region; stands with high cover values of white oak are generally accommodated by ~<i>Pinus echinata - Quercus alba - Carya tomentosa</i> East Gulf Coastal Plain Forest (CEGL004050)$$. Stands of this association are subject to frequent prescribed burning on the Tombigbee National Forest (Mississippi), and many are managed for red-cockaded woodpecker (<i>Picoides borealis</i>) on the adjacent Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:32898-{D29D5AA9-E8A2-4D42-B07A-7267E7268D81} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 2
