Name: Pinus palustris / Quercus marilandica / Ilex vomitoria / Schizachyrium scoparium Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This West Gulf Coastal Plain woodland is comprised of an open to very open, typically somewhat stunted, Pinus palustris canopy (averaging 16-20 m in height). The hardwood subcanopy, comprised largely of Quercus marilandica, is also open to very open, and often occurs in scattered clumps. This type may be quite shrubby, even under frequent burning. This stratum may be strongly dominated by Ilex vomitoria (which is often the only species present in this stratum in Louisiana), along with Callicarpa americana, Rhus copallinum, Vaccinium arboreum, sprouts of Quercus marilandica, and sometimes Quercus stellata. Schizachyrium scoparium is the dominant herbaceous species, but a number of other herbs are present, some of which suggest the dry character of this type (for example, Pityopsis graminifolia var. graminifolia and Oligoneuron nitidum (= Solidago nitida)).
