Name: Pinus echinata - Quercus stellata - Quercus falcata - Carya texana Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This pine-oak woodland occurs on dry, acidic, loamy to clayey uplands in the West Gulf Coastal Plain of Louisiana and Texas. The canopy is dominated by <i>Pinus echinata</i> and <i>Quercus stellata</i>. Other important overstory trees include <i>Quercus falcata, Carya texana</i>, and <i>Carya tomentosa</i>. The understory tends to be quite open and herb-dominated, and may be quite species-rich. Most of the former examples of this woodland have been fire-suppressed resulting in more closed forests, in which <i>Pinus taeda</i> has become an important overstory tree.
