Name: Pinus taeda - Liquidambar styraciflua - Triadica sebifera Ruderal Forest Group
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This ruderal native forest group occurs in old-field and other human-disturbed sites across the southeastern United States. The vegetation shows evidence of former and heavy human use, such as formerly cleared and/or planted sites, but which has been allowed to succeed more-or-less spontaneously, as determined by the vegetation being dominated (&gt;80% cover) by ruderal native tree species. Understory shrub and herb species may be a mix of exotic species and native generalists. Some typical native ruderal species include conifer <i>Pinus taeda</i>, and hardwoods <i>Catalpa bignonioides, Catalpa speciosa, Liquidambar styraciflua, Liriodendron tulipifera, Maclura pomifera</i>, and <i>Quercus nigra</i>. Exotic associates may include <i>Albizia julibrissin, Broussonetia papyrifera, Triadica sebifera</i>, and <i>Maclura pomifera</i>. <i>Maclura pomifera</i> is a native species in a narrow region of the eastern U.S., but is so widely planted outside of its range that it is effectively exotic. Where both the ground layer and tree layer are native ruderals, the stand may overlap with degraded phases of other native forest types.
