Name: Quercus alba - Quercus velutina - Carya (ovata, tomentosa) - Pinus sp. Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This dry-mesic upland forest of the southern Appalachians and Cumberland Plateau/Southern Ridge and Valley is dominated by <i>Quercus alba, Quercus velutina</i>, and several <i>Carya</i> spp. (<i>Carya ovata, Carya tomentosa, Carya glabra, Carya pallida</i>) and contains a variable amount of <i>Pinus virginiana</i> or <i>Pinus taeda</i>. <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i> can also be important in some examples. Several other <i>Quercus</i> spp. may be present in the canopy (<i>Quercus falcata, Quercus stellata, Quercus coccinea, Quercus muehlenbergii</i>, and <i>Quercus rubra</i>). The understory contains <i>Acer rubrum</i> and <i>Oxydendrum arboreum</i>. In the Ridge and Valley of northeastern Monroe County, Tennessee, this type occurs as disturbed stands with sparse shrub and herb strata. At Chickamauga-Chattanooga National Military Park, this association occurs in sheltered locations on a sandstone ridge that forms the structural spine of Moccasin Bend.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35502-{BE522511-0775-4D47-93A3-F8138F172000} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
