Name: Pinus serotina - Gordonia lasianthus / Lyonia lucida Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community occurs in Outer Coastal Plain peat domes and large peat-filled Carolina bays of eastern North Carolina and northern South Carolina. The open canopy consists of mixtures of Pinus serotina and Gordonia lasianthus, generally codominant. Various pocosin shrubs form a dense shrub stratum; typical species include Lyonia lucida, Ilex glabra, Ilex coriacea, Smilax laurifolia, Persea palustris, and others. The herb stratum is typically very sparse. In some areas, as in the Green Swamp, Brunswick County, North Carolina, this community occurs as islands in Pinus serotina / Cyrilla racemiflora - Lyonia lucida Woodland (Kologiski 1977). In other areas, it forms the landscape matrix in unbroken blocks of up to 100 square kilometers.
