Name: Pinus taeda - Quercus alba - Carya tomentosa / Acer floridanum - (Acer leucoderme) Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This mixed forest of the West Gulf Coastal Plain occurs in a fairly narrow geographic zone on both sides of the Sabine River where it is confined to rich, mesic, calcareous slopes and stream bottoms. The canopy of this forest is dominated by both <i>Pinus taeda</i> and mixed hardwoods; these include <i>Quercus alba, Fraxinus americana, Carya tomentosa, Quercus shumardii, Carya texana</i>, and sometimes some <i>Fagus grandifolia</i>. The tall-shrub stratum is patchy and includes canopy saplings and <i>Ilex opaca, Ilex longipes, Ilex vomitoria, Acer leucoderme, Acer floridanum, Crataegus marshallii, Crataegus spathulata, Ostrya virginiana, Carpinus caroliniana</i>, and <i>Styrax grandifolius</i>. The patchy short-shrub stratum includes seedlings of canopy and tall-shrub species, plus <i>Viburnum dentatum</i> and <i>Viburnum acerifolium</i>. The herbaceous stratum is typically sparse but includes spring ephemerals and species dependent on mesic conditions. This type may have been most common in a vegetation matrix dominated by shortleaf pine, although examples also occur within longleaf pine-dominated landscapes.
