Name: Liquidambar styraciflua - Pinus taeda - Triadica sebifera Ruderal Forest Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This ruderal vegetation occurs in human-disturbed sites across the southeastern United States. This includes sites that were formerly cultivated ("old fields") as well as other areas where either the soil has been disturbed (primary succession) or where repeated removal of the natural forest cover for wood products has created conditions for a mixture of tree species which would be unlikely to occur under purely natural conditions of plant succession. The pathway to ruderal forest may be favored by a lack of fire which would favor fire-intolerant and exotic species. Some typical ruderal species include the evergreens <i>Pinus clausa, Pinus elliottii</i>, and <i>Pinus taeda</i> as well as the deciduous trees <i>Acer rubrum var. rubrum, Catalpa bignonioides, Catalpa speciosa, Celtis laevigata, Liquidambar styraciflua, Maclura pomifera, Quercus hemisphaerica, Quercus nigra</i>, and the exotics <i>Albizia julibrissin, Broussonetia papyrifera, Quercus acutissima</i>, and <i>Triadica sebifera</i>. <i>Maclura pomifera</i> is native to a narrow region of the south-central U.S., but is so widely planted outside of this range that it is effectively exotic. These species may form monodominant stands or variable mixes, and typically have associated understory shrub and herb species that are also exotic or native generalists. Where the ground layer is native and the ruderal species listed above is native, the stand may be better placed into a successional phase of a native type.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40637-{4B1D13DB-F9A6-44C0-B9F6-9B00627BC652} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
