Name: Quercus alba - Quercus (falcata, stellata) / Chasmanthium laxum Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association represents mesic oak forests in The Barrens region of the southeastern Highland Rim of Tennessee. Its range may extend into the Upper East Gulf Coastal Plain as well. The canopy is dominated by <i>Quercus alba</i> and/or <i>Quercus falcata</i> and <i>Quercus stellata</i>. Other <i>Quercus</i> species may be present in the canopy, such as <i>Quercus velutina</i> and <i>Quercus coccinea</i>, along with several <i>Carya</i> species, such as <i>Carya tomentosa, Carya ovata</i>, and <i>Carya glabra</i>. This association is found on uplands along intermittent streams and drainages which grades into forests of wetter areas where <i>Quercus phellos</i> becomes codominant in the canopy. <i>Prunus serotina</i> usually is present as a minor component of the canopy and/or subcanopy. The moderately dense subcanopy/shrub layer is dominated by <i>Acer rubrum</i> but may also include <i>Cornus florida, Oxydendrum arboreum, Nyssa sylvatica</i>, and <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i>. <i>Hypericum hypericoides</i> often is present as a low-growing shrub. The herbaceous stratum in this community contains mesic to wet species such as <i>Uvularia sessilifolia, Houstonia caerulea, Thelypteris noveboracensis, Chasmanthium laxum, Mitchella repens, Polytrichum commune</i>, and <i>Sphagnum</i> spp. <i>Thalictrum revolutum</i> and <i>Krigia biflora</i> are also common in this community.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35934-{91E0F19A-6795-4755-8247-B7B844BC7B94} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
