Name: Sassafras albidum - Quercus spp. Ruderal Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This community consists of deciduous forests dominated or codominated by <i>Sassafras albidum</i>. Most occurrences developed through catastrophic disturbance such as fire and/or partial clearcuts. These upland forests are found in patches along exposed slopes. Forests are primarily below 915 m (3000 feet) elevation and are usually associated with acidic slopes heavily disturbed by catastrophic fire. Forests occur primarily in the Southern Blue Ridge and Cumberland Mountains. This community includes pure, often even-aged stands of <i>Sassafras albidum</i>, as well as forests with <i>Liriodendron tulipifera</i> and <i>Quercus</i> spp. Throughout most of the range, <i>Carya tomentosa</i> and <i>Castanea dentata</i> are often subcanopy dominants. The herbaceous layer varies widely depending upon geology but is often sparse.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:32942-{2ECDF282-C997-4BDD-899D-9280ABC022C8} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
