Name: Pinus palustris / Quercus incana - Quercus margarettiae / Vaccinium arboreum / Cnidoscolus texanus - Stylisma pickeringii var. pattersonii Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This xeric woodland of the West Gulf Coastal Plain is dominated by an open to fairly closed Pinus palustris canopy. Pinus palustris is usually the only overstory tree present in high-quality, well-burned examples. Quercus margarettiae and Quercus incana are the next most important woody species, along with Sassafras albidum. The presence of Pinus echinata and Pinus taeda in the canopy indicate lower quality examples. Quercus margarettiae and Quercus incana are the next most important woody species, along with Sassafras albidum. The herbaceous layer may be fairly sparse, yet distinguished by several West Gulf Coastal Plain endemics, and local xeric fidels. Considerable lichen cover (Cladonia spp. and Cladina spp.) may exist along with patches of exposed sand. This type exists in a matrix of pyrogenic Pinus palustris communities and experiences average fire-return intervals of 2-10 years.
