Name: Quercus alba - Carya tomentosa / Chasmanthium sessiliflorum West Gulf Coastal Plain Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This acidic hardwood forest dominated by <i>Quercus alba</i> occurs west of the Mississippi River in the Upper West and West Gulf coastal plains. It occurs in dry-mesic habitats, similar to, but slightly drier than areas which support <i>Fagus grandifolia</i>. Pines (<i>Pinus taeda, Pinus echinata</i>) may be occasional, but if significant amounts are present they would be accommodated under other associations. Various other hardwood species are present, including <i>Carya tomentosa, Liquidambar styraciflua</i>, and <i>Nyssa sylvatica</i>. A thick shrub layer may be present, dominated by <i>Ilex vomitoria</i>. Herbaceous species are infrequent and not diagnostic of this type.
