Name: Quercus hemisphaerica - Quercus geminata - Quercus nigra Coastal Plain Forest Group
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This group includes broad-leaved evergreen forests of coastal areas in the southern Atlantic Coastal Plain, from North Carolina south into Florida and west to Alabama. These forests occur in inland portions of the Coastal Plain, as well as on barrier islands, bayside shores, and related near-coastal environments. Most typical stands are dominated by <i>Quercus</i> spp., primarily <i>Quercus hemisphaerica</i>, but also <i>Quercus falcata, Quercus geminata, Quercus nigra</i>, and <i>Quercus virginiana</i>. In addition, <i>Pinus</i> species, particularly <i>Pinus taeda</i>, may be present. There are two suites of vegetation types placed here, represented by the two member alliances. One of these includes dry inland hammocks dominated by <i>Quercus geminata</i>, often with <i>Serenoa repens</i>. The other includes dry-mesic to mesic forests of lower and adjacent upper coastal plains, including those found in fire-sheltered topographic situations, or in fire-prone topographic situations from which fire has been excluded.
