Name: Pinus palustris / Quercus marilandica / Vaccinium crassifolium / Aristida stricta Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community occupies topographically high positions in the Fall-line Sandhills of North Carolina and South Carolina. Plinthite and sandstone outcrops are usually present, as well as reddish clay. An open canopy of Pinus palustris occurs. Typically, Quercus marilandica is the primary scrub oak, though others may be present. Shrubs, subshrubs, and woody vines (some of them indicative of moister soils than the topographic situation would indicate) include Vaccinium crassifolium, Lyonia mariana, Cyrilla racemiflora, Pyxidanthera brevifolia, Galax urceolata, Clethra alnifolia, Kalmia latifolia, Nyssa sylvatica, Symplocos tinctoria, Gaylussacia dumosa (= var. dumosa), Gelsemium sempervirens, and Vaccinium tenellum. Herbs include Aristida stricta, Tephrosia virginiana, and others. The combination of moist and xeric indicator species is distinctive.
