click to update datacart
Name: Fagus grandifolia - Quercus alba - Quercus rubra Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association comprises coastal oak-beech forests of the north Atlantic Coast and occurs on dry well-drained, loamy sand of morainal coves. It has a mixed canopy of <i>Fagus grandifolia, Quercus alba</i>, and <i>Quercus velutina</i> in varying proportions. <i>Quercus rubra</i> is a common associate, although it never occurs in abundance. Occasional canopy associates that occur with low cover can include <i>Quercus coccinea, Quercus prinus, Acer saccharum</i>, and <i>Betula papyrifera</i> (the latter two species are only occasionally present). There are relatively few shrubs and the herb layer includes tree seedlings, especially of <i>Quercus</i> spp. and <i>Fagus grandifolia</i>, plus <i>Carex swanii, Maianthemum canadense, Eurybia divaricata, Epifagus virginiana</i>, and <i>Maianthemum racemosum</i>. This community is related to oak-beech coastal plain forests of this alliance in southern New Jersey and farther south, but is differentiated from them by the presence of <i>Quercus rubra, Betula papyrifera</i>, and <i>Acer saccharum</i>, and by the absence of <i>Liriodendron tulipifera</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35021-{ED6304A1-6C43-4F05-8314-9140DC42FA7C} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
