Name: Sabal palmetto Temperate Woodland Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This alliance consists of upland palm savannas dominated by open to scattered canopy of Sabal palmetto. In some cases, these communities occupy narrow strips of upland adjacent to marsh. They have a dense shrubby understory and a high water table. Severe conditions, likely including periodic hurricane damage (by wind and flooding), preclude forest development. They occur in the ACE (Ashepoo-Combahee-Edisto) Basin and may be most common in the Sea Islands Section of the Coastal Plain. In southern Florida, vegetation of this alliance occurs on similar sites to Pinus elliottii var. densa communities but with more frequent fire (2- to 3-year return time) favoring the palm species Sabal palmetto and Serenoa repens.  Accession Code: VB.CC.24549.SABALPALMETTOTE Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
