Name: Quercus alba - Carya tomentosa Mesic Coastal Plain Forest Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance includes hardwood forests of the Southeastern Coastal Plain dominated by <i>Quercus alba</i>, frequently with <i>Carya tomentosa</i>. Stands assigned to this alliance are intermediate in moisture status, falling between the more mesic <i>Fagus grandifolia</i> - <i>Quercus alba</i> forests, and drier <i>Quercus</i> forests in which <i>Quercus alba</i> is codominant with <i>Quercus falcata</i> and/or <i>Quercus stellata</i>. These forests are found from the Atlantic Coastal Plain of Virginia and North Carolina, south and west to the Gulf Coastal Plain of Arkansas and Texas, and likely is distributed sparingly in the Piedmont. Forests in this alliance can occur on a variety of sites including sandy swamp islands, coastal plain slopes, ridgetops, and other mesic to dry-mesic fire-sheltered areas on acidic to circumneutral soils.
