Name: Pinus palustris - Pinus taeda - Pinus serotina / Chasmanthium laxum - Panicum virgatum Piedmont Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This is a wet longleaf pine community of the lower Piedmont of North Carolina (Moore, Montgomery, and Anson counties). Most of the very few examples remaining are fire-suppressed and their original composition and structure are somewhat hypothetical. The canopy is open to closed, and consists of Pinus palustris, Pinus taeda, and Pinus serotina. Under fire-suppressed conditions, Liquidambar styraciflua is often present as an invader. The shrub stratum includes Gaylussacia frondosa (= var. frondosa), Vaccinium fuscatum, Ilex glabra, Lyonia mariana, and Vaccinium crassifolium ssp. crassifolium. The herb stratum is usually dominated by Chasmanthium laxum and Panicum virgatum, though Aristida stricta may rarely be present and common. Other herbs include Eupatorium spp., Solidago odora var. odora, Rhynchospora spp., and Pityopsis graminifolia.
