Observation Narrative
Open longleaf canopy, recent frequent fire, shrub dominated ground cover.
Mature longleaf stand; midstory absent; shrub dominated; herb diversity low; burned this year. This and the previous stands are representative of wet shrub flatwoods clearly referenced in Ravenel's (1850) AAAS paper. Recent history of frequent fire, so high shrub dominance and low herb diversity is not a function of at least recent fire history. Could be spodosol type soils, have not yet checked soil info.
