Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Virginia Pine Forest Plantation

Hierarchy Level: Cultural Subtype
Type Concept: This association includes planted stands of Pinus virginiana which have little understory, but they may have admixtures of other native or off-site pines (e.g., Pinus echinata, Pinus strobus, Pinus taeda). These are cultivated forests and are not considered natural or near-natural vegetation. They are maintained as plantations for the harvest of forest products, or for production of Christmas trees and on strip-mined sites. Stands have suffered some damage from southern pine beetle (Dendroctonus frontalis). Stands are planted in the Inner Coastal Plain for Christmas tree production.
