Castanea dentata - Quercus montana Forest | NatureServe Biotics 2019
click to update datacart
Name: Castanea dentata - Quercus montana Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This community, dominated by various mixtures of <i>Castanea dentata</i> and <i>Quercus montana</i>, sometimes strongly dominated by <i>Castanea dentata</i>, is broadly defined and poorly known, since the type is now extinct due to the reduction of <i>Castanea dentata</i> to a stump-sprouting shrub by the introduction and spread of chestnut blight (<i>Cryphonectria parasitica</i>). This community was once common in the southern Appalachian Mountains. There is some hope for the potential recovery of this community, or something resembling it, if a blight-resistant chestnut can be developed and introduced.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35472-{69B92D2F-FD85-4682-B39C-19D6B8313937} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
