Castanea dentata - Quercus rubra Forest | NatureServe Biotics 2019
click to update datacart
Name: Castanea dentata - Quercus rubra Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This community, dominated by <i>Castanea dentata</i> and <i>Quercus rubra</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 <i>Cryphonectria parasitica</i> (chestnut blight). 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:35537-{9B8FF594-DCD1-4C6D-A039-1D1B59CB55DC} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 13
