Name: Zenobia pulverulenta - Lyonia lucida - Ilex (coriacea, glabra) Saturated Shrubland Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Low pocosins of Outer Coastal Plain peat domes. Zenobia pulverulenta, Lyonia lucida, Ilex glabra, Ilex coriacea, and sometimes Cyrilla racemiflora are characteristic species and usually codominant in various combinations. This alliance includes mixed evergreen-deciduous low pocosins of peat domes (ombrotrophic blanket bogs) of the Outer Coastal Plain of North Carolina. In these examples, the shrub height (0.5-2 m) is maintained primarily by extremely poor nutrient status, and secondarily by occasional fire. These typically have very scattered, stunted (less than 5 m tall) Pinus serotina (less than 10% cover). Other characteristic species include Ilex coriacea, Lyonia lucida, and Woodwardia virginica.
