Name: Pinus palustris - Pinus echinata / Quercus coccinea - Quercus georgiana Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community occurs on the quartzite ridge (Hollis Formation) of Pine Mountain (Harris County, Georgia). Pinus palustris, Pinus echinata, and Pinus virginiana share canopy dominance. Oaks include Quercus coccinea, Quercus prinus, Quercus georgiana, and Quercus falcata. The shrub layer contains Prunus umbellata, Hypericum hypericoides, Vaccinium arboreum, Vaccinium pallidum, and Vaccinium tenellum; Tephrosia virginiana, Solidago odora, Schizachyrium scoparium, and Pteridium aquilinum var. pseudocaudatum are present in the herb layer. Most of the area formerly occupied by this association are fire-suppressed and are now occupied by a mixed forest, with the oaks joining the pines in the canopy. Further information is needed to determine whether this association is distinct from other Piedmont/Mountain longleaf pine communities in this alliance.
