Name: Pinus elliottii var. elliottii / Spartina patens - Juncus roemerianus - (Panicum virgatum) Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This slash pine woodland occurs in immediate near-coastal areas of the East Gulf Coastal Plain and possibly adjacent areas of the South Atlantic Coastal Plain. The typically open (though sometimes dense) canopy is dominated by Pinus elliottii var. elliottii. The subcanopy stratum is generally poorly developed; the shrub stratum may be well or poorly developed, with species such as Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera), Serenoa repens, Ilex glabra, Baccharis halimifolia, Persea palustris, Iva frutescens, and scattered Sabal minor present. The herbaceous stratum is dense, and typically consists of Spartina patens, Juncus roemerianus, Rhynchospora sp., and Panicum virgatum. This association has a high water table maintained by its occurrence on flat shores very slightly above sea level. It is not inundated by normal lunar tides, but receives inundation in storm and hurricane events.
