Name: Pinus palustris / Vaccinium elliottii - Clethra alnifolia / Aristida stricta - Panicum virgatum Woodland Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This is a mesic longleaf pine-dominated association, with few oaks. It occurs on relict terraces along deeply entrenched rivers in the Fall-line Sandhills of North Carolina. The canopy is open and consists of Pinus palustris, sometimes with an admixture of Pinus taeda. In fire-suppressed examples, Liquidambar styraciflua, Acer rubrum, Quercus nigra, and scrub oaks may form a subcanopy. The shrub layer is diverse and includes Vaccinium elliottii, Vaccinium arboreum, Clethra alnifolia, Gaylussacia dumosa (= var. dumosa), Gaylussacia frondosa (= var. frondosa), Ilex glabra, Amorpha georgiana var. georgiana, and Lyonia mariana as important species. The herb layer is dominated by Aristida stricta and is extremely diverse (often 140 species per 0.1 ha), with unusual mixtures of wetland and upland plants. Typical herbaceous species include Pteridium aquilinum var. pseudocaudatum, Eupatorium semiserratum, Eupatorium spp., Andropogon spp., Panicum virgatum, Parthenium integrifolium var. mabryanum, Coreopsis verticillata, and Muhlenbergia expansa. Typical soils are Tarboro (Typic Udipsamment), Kalmia (Typic Hapludult), Pactolus (Aquic Quartzipsamment), and Kenansville (Arenic Hapludult).  Accession Code: VB.CC.22548.PINUSPALUSTRISV Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
