Name: Pinus echinata - Quercus marilandica / Kalmia latifolia - Symplocos tinctoria Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This Piedmont woodland occurs on upper slopes, often west-facing, with extreme exposure that results in extreme xeric conditions. The dominant overstory species are Pinus echinata, Pinus virginiana, and Quercus prinus. Nyssa sylvatica, Quercus alba, Quercus coccinea var. coccinea, Quercus velutina, and other species may be present. There is a subcanopy of Oxydendrum arboreum and Acer rubrum var. rubrum over a dense shrub layer of Kalmia latifolia and Symplocos tinctoria. Other shrub species include Vaccinium arboreum, Vaccinium formosum, Vaccinium pallidum, Vaccinium stamineum, Gaylussacia dumosa (= var. dumosa), and Lyonia mariana. The herbaceous layer is sparse and contains Andropogon glomeratus var. pumilus (= Andropogon tenuispatheus), Danthonia spicata, Danthonia sericea, Iris verna var. verna, Pteridium aquilinum var. pseudocaudatum, Smilax glauca, and Tephrosia virginiana. The substrate is very rocky.
