Name: Pinus glabra - Quercus (laurifolia, michauxii, nigra) Temporarily Flooded Forest Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Vegetation in this alliance occurs on natural levees and on infrequently flooded flats in floodplains of Coastal Plain streams, both blackwater and brownwater, from South Carolina south to Florida, and west to Mississippi and possibly to eastern Louisiana. Pinus glabra and sometimes also Pinus taeda are typically mixed with Quercus laurifolia, Quercus phellos, Liquidambar styraciflua, Quercus nigra, and Quercus michauxii. Carpinus caroliniana ssp. caroliniana typically forms a prominent subcanopy stratum. In Mississippi, Sabal minor may be common in some examples. Shrubs may include Hypericum galioides, Hypericum hypericoides, Sebastiania fruticosa, Leucothoe racemosa, Cyrilla racemiflora, Styrax americanus, Crataegus marshallii, and Rhododendron canescens. Vines include Berchemia scandens and Vitis rotundifolia. Herbs may include Chasmanthium laxum, Saccharum baldwinii, Carex joorii, Osmunda cinnamomea, and Mitchella repens. In Louisiana, small, relatively pure stands of Pinus glabra can occur as a natural or artificial small-scale successional type, found in 'slashes' in flatwoods.
