Name: Pinus elliottii Tropical Woodland Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This alliance consists of tropical and subtropical pine woodlands with canopies dominated by Pinus elliottii var. densa. The canopy may vary from very open to nearly closed in structure. Scattered subcanopy trees may be present. The ground layer may be shrub-dominated or herb-dominated. These communities show conceptual relationship both to temperate fire-maintained pinelands of the southeastern United States, as well as to tropical pinelands of the Bahamas, West Indies, and Central America. This alliance is probably most closely related in floristic composition and structure to the Pinus caribaea var. bahamensis Woodland Alliance (A.489) of the Bahamas. These woodlands are compositionally diverse. Some typical species include Coccothrinax argentata, Thrinax morrisii, Sideroxylon salicifolium, Chrysobalanus icaco, Ilex cassine, and Tetrazygia bicolor. This alliance occurs in south Florida, often in association with elevated limestone outcroppings.  Accession Code: VB.CC.21345.PINUSELLIOTTIIT Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
