Name: Pinus palustris - Pinus (echinata, taeda) - Quercus falcata - Carya texana Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This sandy upland Pinus palustris woodland of the West Gulf Coastal Plain occurs on topographically isolated ridgetops or other dry sites naturally prone to reduced fire frequencies. Due to infrequency of natural fires and proximity to mesic habitats, the overstory supports a natural mixture of Pinus palustris, Pinus echinata, and Pinus taeda. A well-developed, fairly diverse layer of hardwoods is also present in the subcanopy and midstory. The most typical hardwood species are Quercus falcata and Carya texana. The short-shrub stratum is patchy to dense and may include a number of species, at least some of which are indicative of sandy, yet not xeric conditions.
