Name: Quercus pagoda - Carya cordiformis / Chasmanthium sessiliflorum - Verbesina virginica Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This mesic forest or woodland is described from the South Carolina Coastal Plain. It is associated with soils derived from calcareous materials. The canopy and subcanopy of the stand contains two distinct layers, with large emergent <i>Pinus taeda, Quercus pagoda, Carya cordiformis</i>, and <i>Liriodendron tulipifera</i> overtopping a denser subcanopy of <i>Carya</i> spp., <i>Cornus florida</i>, and <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i>. A dominant shrub is <i>Callicarpa americana</i>. In addition to grasses, primarily <i>Chasmanthium sessiliflorum</i> and <i>Tridens flavus</i>, the herb layer codominance of tall <i>Verbesina</i> species (<i>Verbesina occidentalis, Verbesina virginica</i>) is striking. Other characteristic herbs (of higher nutrient conditions) include <i>Anemone virginiana, Agrimonia pubescens</i>, and <i>Pycnanthemum pycnanthemoides</i> (with high cover).
