Name:
Pinus taeda - Quercus (phellos, nigra, laurifolia) Floodplain Forest
Reference:
NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description:
This association is found in the Piedmont and probably the Upper East Gulf Coastal Plain, potentially ranging from South Carolina to Mississippi. Stands are dominated by <i>Pinus taeda</i> with <i>Quercus nigra</i> and/or <i>Quercus phellos</i>, with <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i> and/or <i>Liriodendron tulipifera</i>. <i>Quercus laurifolia</i> is possible in some stands in the Upper East Gulf Coastal Plain. Some other trees that may be present include <i>Acer rubrum, Fraxinus americana, Nyssa sylvatica, Quercus alba</i>, and <i>Sassafras albidum</i>. Shrubs may include <i>Acer leucoderme, Aesculus sylvatica, Carya tomentosa, Halesia carolina, Ostrya virginiana, Vaccinium elliottii</i>, and <i>Viburnum</i> spp. Herbs may include <i>Chasmanthium latifolium, Desmodium nudiflorum, Galium tinctorium, Mitchella repens, Passiflora lutea</i>, and <i>Polystichum acrostichoides</i>. Vines may include <i>Bignonia capreolata, Decumaria barbara, Parthenocissus quinquefolia, Smilax</i> spp., <i>Toxicodendron radicans</i>, and <i>Vitis rotundifolia</i>. This association is distinguished from other Piedmont floodplain forests by the presence (and general codominance) of these more "southern" or "coastal" canopy trees (<i>Quercus nigra</i> and/or <i>Quercus laurifolia</i>). It is documented from the Piedmont of Georgia, with data from the Chattahoochee National Recreation Area (NPS) and the Oconee National Forest.
