Name: A.372
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance includes Coastal Plain dry-mesic to subxeric sandy forests, with mixed broad-leaved evergreen-deciduous composition. Typical species include ~Quercus hemisphaerica, Carya glabra, Carya pallida, Quercus virginiana, Pinus taeda, Pinus glabra, Magnolia grandiflora$, and ~Osmanthus americanus var. americanus$. ~Fagus grandifolia$ may be present within its range (which includes Florida Panhandle but not extreme southeastern Georgia). ~Sabal palmetto$ may also be present. Dominance by ~Quercus hemisphaerica$ indicates that fire has been excluded from these forests for a period of many years; ~Quercus hemisphaerica$ is probably more widespread than in pre-settlement times. In Florida, this vegetation is partly described as well-developed xeric forest dominated by ~Quercus hemisphaerica, Quercus virginiana$, and ~Magnolia grandiflora$ in the canopy, and ~Persea borbonia, Ilex opaca$, and ~Carya glabra$ in the understory.
