Name: Pinus taeda - (Pinus echinata) / Quercus michauxii / Thaspium barbinode Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This dry-mesic <i>Pinus taeda</i> forest is found in eastern Texas in the Upper West Gulf Coastal Plain. It occurs on an unusually steep, north-facing slope close to the Neches River, in Houston County, Texas. The community has calciphilic tendencies due to the underlying presence of the calcareous Weches Formation. <i>Pinus taeda</i> is the dominant overstory tree, but <i>Pinus echinata</i> is also quite common. The subcanopy abundance of <i>Quercus michauxii</i> is an extremely unusual feature of this community. Calciphilic indicators, including <i>Acer floridanum, Ostrya virginiana, Fraxinus americana</i>, and <i>Cercis canadensis</i>, are present, along with several caric sedges (<i>Carex oxylepis, Carex caroliniana, Carex amphibola, Carex cephalophora</i>, and <i>Carex albicans var. australis</i>). <i>Thaspium barbinode</i> may also be indicative of calciphilic conditions.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:36631-{B9745FCC-2A32-4B40-80EB-F2BDE40453F1} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 2
