Name: Ceratiola ericoides - Quercus geminata - Ximenia americana / Cladonia spp. - Cladina spp. Shrubland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community is limited to ridges and dunes of the Florida peninsular coast. In this shrubland community Ceratiola ericoides is often present in nearly pure stands; scattered Pinus clausa and scrub oaks may be present. The herb layer is generally sparse and dominated by lichens (Cladonia leporina, Cladonia prostrata, Cladina evansii, and Cladina subtenuis). The white or light-colored sandy soils are well-drained and infertile. Ceratiola ericoides scrub is pyrogenic with fire frequencies of 30-40 years, depending on fuel availability and ignition sources.
