Name: Quercus stellata - (Quercus marilandica) / Gaylussacia frondosa Acid Hardpan Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association occurs on acidic clay pans in flat terrain of the Piedmont. The canopy is closed to fairly open and is dominated by Quercus stellata, Quercus alba, and Quercus falcata. Other canopy trees include Pinus echinata, Acer rubrum var. rubrum, Nyssa sylvatica, Quercus marilandica, and Quercus coccinea. The subcanopy is not distinctive. The shrub layer is characteristically well-developed and consists of short deciduous heaths, including Gaylussacia frondosa (= var. frondosa), Gaylussacia dumosa (= var. dumosa), Lyonia ligustrina var. foliosiflora, Vaccinium stamineum, Vaccinium tenellum, and Vaccinium pallidum. The herb layer is poorly developed. Some environments are referred to as highly acid (pH 3.7-4.0). This association is also reported from the Carolina Slate Belt (Subsection 231Af), on acidic soils such as the Meisenheimer and Zion series.
