Name: Quercus pagoda - Quercus michauxii - Quercus shumardii Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This is a mesic forest described from the northern parts of the Upper East Gulf Coastal Plain, ranging from Kentucky south to Tennessee and possibly northern Alabama. Its full range is not known. Stands are found on lower toeslopes above cypress or bottomland hardwood forests. It was initially described from Kentucky (Marshall, McCracken, and Carlisle counties). Typical canopy trees include <i>Quercus phellos, Quercus michauxii, Quercus pagoda, Quercus falcata</i>, and <i>Quercus stellata</i>. These are often mixed with swamp species like <i>Quercus palustris</i> and upland forest species like <i>Quercus alba</i>. Flooding occurs in winter, and groundwater probably remains high through most years, but upper soil horizons may become relatively dry in the summer. Forests upslope are dominated by <i>Quercus alba</i> and <i>Quercus falcata</i>. More information is needed on this vegetation across its range.
