Name: Quercus nigra Ruderal Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This community is a result of soil disturbance and/or fire suppression of upland pinelands of the Southeastern Coastal Plain and of pinelands and subsequent old fields in the adjacent Piedmont areas. South of the range of southern yellow pines, this community is found on spoil banks, artificial levees, and other anthropogenic landforms in a marsh and swamp landscape context. This association occurs on mesic or dry-mesic sites, especially on loamy or other fine-textured soils (in contrast to ~<i>Quercus hemisphaerica - Quercus nigra</i> Forest Alliance (A0053)$$, which occurs primarily on coarse-textured sands in drier situations). <i>Quercus nigra</i> dominates the tree canopy. Other oaks (e.g., <i>Quercus falcata, Quercus phellos, Quercus hemisphaerica</i>) may be intermixed, as well as <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i>, remnant <i>Pinus palustris</i>, weedy <i>Pinus elliottii var. elliottii, Carya</i> spp., or <i>Pinus taeda</i>. In the Upper Gulf Coastal Plain of Georgia, some examples may contain <i>Fagus grandifolia, Liriodendron tulipifera, Carya tomentosa</i>, and <i>Cornus florida</i> in the subcanopy.
