Name: Fagus grandifolia - Quercus alba - Quercus laurifolia / Galax urceolata Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This community occurs on moist river bluffs in the Outer Coastal Plain of North Carolina. <i>Fagus grandifolia</i> is a conspicuous and diagnostic component of the mixed canopy in stands of this type; other species include <i>Quercus alba, Quercus laurifolia, Liquidambar styraciflua, Acer rubrum, Quercus nigra, Ulmus americana, Quercus falcata</i>, and <i>Pinus taeda</i>. Shrubs can include <i>Sassafras albidum, Vaccinium elliottii, Calycanthus floridus, Vaccinium stamineum</i>, and <i>Vaccinium fuscatum</i>. <i>Galax urceolata</i> is a conspicuous component of the herbaceous stratum. Soils are presumably strongly acidic, and the slope and proximity to rivers or streams maintains microclimates suitable for <i>Galax urceolata</i>.
