Name: Pinus serotina / Ilex glabra / Woodwardia virginica Woodland Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: Pinus serotina is dominant or codominant with Acer rubrum in the canopy stratum. Acer rubrum and Magnolia virginiana are typically the most important subcanopy trees. Shrub densities are variable, from more than 80% cover to less than 50%. While not always dominant, Ilex glabra is a common and characteristic shrub in this type. Other common shrubs include Lyonia lucida, Clethra alnifolia, Smilax laurifolia, Leucothoe racemosa, Gaylussacia frondosa (= var. frondosa), Vaccinium formosum, Persea palustris, Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera var. cerifera), and Lyonia ligustrina var. foliosiflora. Herbaceous diversity is very low, but Woodwardia virginica and Osmunda cinnamomea can be locally common. Other herbaceous plants include Woodwardia areolata, Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis, and Listera australis. Mosses, including Sphagnum spp., are often abundant in the saturated hummock-and-hollow microtopography. This community is variable in physiognomy, depending on fire frequency. Originally, most occurrences would have manifested themselves at most times as woodlands, with an open canopy structure. Many occurrences currently have denser canopy, up to and including a closed canopy structure. This type is closely related to the Pinus serotina / Cyrilla racemiflora - Lyonia lucida - Ilex glabra Woodland (CEGL003670), which occurs farther south and has additional species, particularly Cyrilla racemiflora.  Accession Code: VB.CC.19268.PINUSSEROTINAIL Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
