Name: Pinus echinata - Quercus (margarettae, stellata, falcata) - Carya texana Woodland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association represents very dry or "subxeric" forest/woodlands west of the Mississippi River (Upper West Gulf Coastal Plain and West Gulf Coastal Plain ecoregions) dominated by <i>Pinus echinata</i> and a variety of oak species, such as <i>Quercus margarettae, Quercus stellata</i>, and <i>Quercus falcata</i>. This forest/woodland differs from other documented sandhill types of the region by exhibiting very dry but not xeric conditions. The fairly species-rich understory is indicative of this moisture status and includes a number of legume species, such as <i>Stylosanthes biflora, Desmodium canescens, Centrosema virginianum, Lespedeza hirta, Galactia regularis, Baptisia nuttalliana</i>, and members of the Asteraceae family (<i>Rudbeckia hirta, Pityopsis graminifolia, Vernonia texana, Berlandiera pumila</i>). <i>Tragia urticifolia</i> and <i>Croton argyranthemus</i> are also indicative. Herbs of the most extreme xeric sites in the region are typically lacking (<i>Stylisma pickeringii, Eriogonum multiflorum, Eriogonum longifolium</i>) or in very low levels of abundance (<i>Erythrina herbacea, Cnidoscolus texanus</i>).  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:36114-{B1C8C2BE-5C48-4721-8302-A13A3E7A9DAD} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
