click to update datacart
Name: Quercus alba - Carya tomentosa / Symplocos tinctoria / Mitchella repens Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This forest community is located on small mima mounds within floodplains or flatwoods environments of the Upper West Gulf Coastal Plain of Arkansas, Texas, and possibly Louisiana. These mounds are topographically higher than the surrounding landscape and are found on somewhat coarser-textured soils. Dominant trees include <i>Quercus alba</i> and <i>Nyssa sylvatica</i> with <i>Acer rubrum var. rubrum</i> and <i>Carya tomentosa</i>. Scattered <i>Pinus taeda</i> are often present, the density of which is dependent upon past disturbance. <i>Cornus florida</i> is the dominant understory tree, rarely with <i>Sassafras albidum</i>. <i>Symplocos tinctoria</i> and <i>Hamamelis virginiana</i> are the dominant shrubs with <i>Asimina triloba, Callicarpa americana</i> (disturbed mounds), and <i>Vaccinium arboreum</i> occurring as occasional shrubs. <i>Parthenocissus quinquefolia</i> is the usual woody vine occasionally with <i>Smilax bona-nox</i> and <i>Vitis rotundifolia</i>. Dominant herbaceous species include <i>Chasmanthium sessiliflorum</i>. The herbaceous layer can be sparse due to low light levels and litter build-up. <i>Mitchella repens</i> is the common ground cover.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:36148-{F97D0667-5508-4B3A-8F17-0C7E0F8C79C9} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 2
