Name: Pinus palustris - Pinus (echinata, taeda) - Quercus (incana, margarettiae, falcata, laevis) Woodland Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This broadly defined association represents fire-suppressed (or otherwise ecologically disturbed) former Pinus palustris-dominated sandhills ranging throughout the Coastal Plain east of the Mississippi River. Unlike most natural Pinus palustris-dominated sandhills, the overstory of stands covered by this association support a mixture of Pinus palustris, Pinus echinata, and Pinus taeda. In addition, sandhill oak species may be found in the canopy and subcanopy with greater frequency than natural stands. Predominant oak species include Quercus incana, Quercus falcata, Quercus laevis, and/or Quercus margarettiae. However, vegetation in any given stand may vary somewhat depending upon the severity of previous disturbance, including the length of fire exclusion. Related natural sandhill vegetation supporting mixed pines in the overstory are covered by other associations. Wetland, mesic, and/or flatwoods fire-suppressed Pinus palustris stands are covered in the Pinus palustris Woodland Alliance (A.520).  Accession Code: VB.CC.22828.PINUSPALUSTRISP Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
