Name: Pinus palustris / Quercus laevis / Aristida beyrichiana - Pityopsis aspera Woodland Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This open Pinus palustris woodland with a scattered Quercus laevis subcanopy is found in the East Gulf Coastal Plain and adjacent areas of the South Atlantic Coastal Plain. These woodlands occur on Pleistocene sand ridges and old river bars in Florida, and from dry, sandy uplands in southwestern Georgia, adjacent Alabama, and panhandle Florida. This community is distinguished from other sandhills of the region by a greater species richness and the importance of Aristida beyrichiana in the understory. Unlike other sandhills of the region, Quercus laevis is typically the only oak species attaining any moderate to high density. A scattered shrub layer of variable density is present. Characteristic shrubs include Gaylussacia dumosa, Licania michauxii, Vaccinium darrowii, and Asimina angustifolia (= Asimina longifolia). Aristida beyrichiana is the single most dominant species in natural condition. In addition to the nominal species, other characteristic herbs include Tephrosia mohrii, Polygonella gracilis, and Galactia microphylla.  Accession Code: VB.CC.22792.PINUSPALUSTRISQ Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
