Name: Pinus taeda - (Pinus echinata) - Quercus (pagoda, phellos) Wet Woodland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This nonriverine woodland of the West Gulf Coastal Plain and Upper West Gulf Coastal Plain ecoregions is dominated by <i>Pinus taeda</i> with some combination of <i>Pinus echinata</i> and the nominal oaks, <i>Quercus pagoda</i> and <i>Quercus phellos</i>, and also with <i>Quercus stellata</i>. These are natural woodlands or forests that occur in nonriverine flatwoods environments. They occur on sites with a "hydroxeric" moisture regime, that is, significant intra-annual variation in site moisture - very wet in wet season (winter-spring) to very dry in the dry season (summer-fall). These sites typically occur on Pleistocene terraces that are primarily along the Ouachita and Red rivers and their tributaries. They are typically but not always above the current floodplain. In frequently-burned sites, this type occurs as a woodland, but in most cases today has succeeded to forest without sufficiently frequent fire. Open-land plant and animal species are typically high priority for conservation.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35384-{A22C5869-D56A-45D4-9848-D8631294F441} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
