Name: Fagus grandifolia - Magnolia grandiflora - Quercus alba / Carpinus caroliniana - Ostrya virginiana Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This West Gulf Coastal Plain beech-magnolia forest displays a well-developed three-layered structure. It has a closed upper canopy of <i>Fagus grandifolia</i> with occasional representatives of <i>Magnolia grandiflora, Liquidambar styraciflua, Quercus nigra</i>, and <i>Quercus alba</i>. Midstory trees are prevalent, with <i>Carpinus caroliniana ssp. caroliniana</i> and <i>Ostrya virginiana</i> being most important, although <i>Ilex opaca var. opaca, Cornus florida</i>, and <i>Nyssa sylvatica</i> are also common components. The relatively sparse shrub stratum is dominated by <i>Ilex vomitoria, Callicarpa americana, Hamamelis virginiana, Frangula caroliniana, Styrax americanus</i>, and <i>Vaccinium elliottii</i>. The woody vine <i>Vitis rotundifolia</i> can be abundant. An herbaceous stratum of species typical of mesic, acidic hardwood forests of the region is sparsely present amid dense hardwood leaf litter.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:36057-{7CDA49C4-ABE0-4225-9665-D6D6901EC791} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
