USGS-NPS Vegetation Mapping Program Colonial National Historical Park COMMON NAME (PARK-SPECIFIC): LOBLOLLY PINE PLANTATION SYNONYMS USNVC English Name: Loblolly Pine Planted Forest USNVC Scientific Name: Pinus taeda Planted Forest USNVC Identifier: CEGL007179 LOCAL INFORMATION Environmental Description: Loblolly Pine Plantation occurs on areas where Pinus taeda (loblolly pine) has been planted or areas that have been cleared and naturally regenerated as dense, scrubby Pinus taeda (loblolly pine). In Colonial National Historical Park, these forests occur on upland flats over various soil types. Vegetation Description: Loblolly Pine Plantations are evergreen forests that result from planting Pinus taeda (loblolly pine). They can occur as perfect rows of planted Pinus taeda (loblolly pine) or as dense, young stands. These stands support almost no other tree species in the overstory and typically very little understory and no herbaceous species. Typical associates include Liquidambar styraciflua (sweetgum), Lonicera japonica (Japanese honeysuckle), Microstegium vimineum (Nepalese browntop), and Toxicodendron radicans (eastern poison ivy). The ground usually has a dense cover of pine needles. Most Abundant Species: Stratum Lifeform Species Tree canopy Needle-leaved tree Pinus taeda (loblolly pine) Characteristic Species: Lonicera japonica (Japanese honeysuckle), Microstegium vimineum (Nepalese browntop), Pinus taeda (loblolly pine). Other Noteworthy Species: Information not available. Subnational Distribution with Crosswalk Data: State SRank Rel Conf SName Reference VA SNA . . [not crosswalked] . Local Range: Loblolly Pine Plantation is mapped as small areas throughout Colonial National Historical Park. It is mapped as 13 polygons, covering 51.4 hectares (127.1 acres). Classification Comments: Loblolly Pine Plantations are distinguished from other vegetation in Colonial National Historical Park by being dominated by Pinus taeda (loblolly pine) with little or no other tree or shrub species. Other Comments: Information not available. Local Description Authors: K. D. Patterson. Plots: None. Colonial National Historical Park Inventory Notes: Information not available.
