Name: Pinus echinata - Quercus falcata Upper Coastal Plain Woodland Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance accommodates shortleaf pine - hardwood forests in the Upper East Gulf Coastal Plain and related areas, ranging into the adjacent Interior Low Plateau and southern Piedmont. The open canopy is characterized by <i>Pinus echinata</i> and a mixture of hardwoods with intermediate moisture preferences, including <i>Quercus alba</i> and <i>Quercus falcata</i>, sometimes <i>Carya tomentosa</i>, and others. One of the most important characteristic features that distinguish this type from other shortleaf pine - hardwood forests of the region is the prevalence of <i>Quercus alba</i> and <i>Carya tomentosa</i> in the overstory. Although other tree species may also be encountered in stands of this type, they are generally lacking from the overstory or found only in limited abundance.
