Name: Pinus palustris / Quercus laevis / Schizachyrium scoparium - Rhynchosia cytisoides Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This Pinus palustris community of the East Gulf Coastal Plain is distinguished from other types in the region by an herbaceous layer in which Andropogon virginicus and/or Schizachyrium scoparium replace Aristida beyrichiana, possibly due to the extremely deep sandy soils it occurs on. Pinus palustris dominates the canopy. Scrub oaks, mainly Quercus laevis but also Quercus incana, Quercus geminata, and Quercus margarettiae, are present in highly variable density, from shrubs to small trees (depending on interval, season, and pattern of fire), from very sparse to fairly dense. The herbaceous stratum may contain Schizachyrium scoparium, Sporobolus junceus, Sorghastrum secundum, Aristida condensata, Aristida mohrii, Aristida purpurascens, Aristida tuberculosa, Andropogon ternarius, Rhynchospora megalocarpa, Dalea pinnata var. pinnata, Rhynchosia cytisoides, Tephrosia mohrii, Euphorbia floridana, Asclepias humistrata, etc. This association is widespread on Lakeland soils.
