Name: Quercus geminata Forest Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This alliance includes forests dominated by Quercus geminata. These occur on bayside shores of the mainland coast and inland on coarse sands. This alliance includes xeric maritime hammocks of the northeastern coast of Florida, south at least to Cape Canaveral, and of the panhandle. It also includes inland xeric hammocks dominated by Quercus geminata. These occur in north and central Florida, south Georgia, and perhaps south Alabama and South Carolina. Other characteristic species include Quercus myrtifolia, Lyonia ferruginea, Osmanthus americanus var. americanus, Persea borbonia, and Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera). Characteristic shrubs may include Ilex vomitoria, Lyonia fruticosa, Serenoa repens, and Sideroxylon lanuginosum. An understory of Sabal palmetto may be present. The soils at sites where this alliance is found typically contain deep, infertile sands. Habitat for these forests is decreasing and many associations now are rare.  Accession Code: VB.CC.17789.QUERCUSGEMINATA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
