Name: Pinus palustris / Quercus (incana, margarettiae) / Aristida beyrichiana - Asimina angustifolia Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This Pinus palustris-dominated community occurs on dry, sandy, well-drained soils in the East Gulf Coastal Plain of north Florida, where this type has been considered "some of the most spectacular high pineland" on the Apalachicola National Forest (Clewell 1971). The open canopy is dominated by Pinus palustris; a subcanopy is typically absent. Quercus incana and Quercus margarettiae sprouts dominate the short-shrub stratum and can vary in density depending on fire history. The herb layer is dominated by Aristida beyrichiana, along with other grasses such as Panicum virgatum, Schizachyrium scoparium, and Sporobolus junceus. Related sandhill types of the region often support Quercus laevis in the subcanopy, often with a shrub layer component of Serenoa repens which is completely lacking in this type.
