Name: Pinus palustris - Pinus (echinata, taeda) - Quercus (incana, margarettiae) / Schizachyrium scoparium Woodland Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This xeric forest develops on fuel-limited, xeric, deep sands within the range of Pinus palustris in the West Gulf Coastal Plain of Louisiana and Texas. A midstory of Quercus incana or Quercus margarettiae is usually present, indicative of the extreme droughtiness of the sites. The short-shrub stratum is patchy to dense and may include Vaccinium arboreum, Ilex vomitoria, Sideroxylon lanuginosum ssp. lanuginosum, Asimina parviflora, Chionanthus virginicus, Stillingia sylvatica, Frangula caroliniana, Hamamelis virginiana, and seedlings of canopy species. The scattered herbaceous layer contains Schizachyrium scoparium, Aristida desmantha, and Cnidoscolus texanus. Scattered fruticose lichens (Cladonia spp.) often occur. The ground cover is sparse, due to extreme site conditions. This community generally occurs on uplands surrounded by Pinus palustris-dominated woodlands.  Accession Code: VB.CC.22402.PINUSPALUSTRISP Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
