Name: Quercus virginiana / Serenoa repens Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association represents one of two inland hammocks or oak domes with a dominant or significant canopy component of Quercus virginiana in Florida and possibly adjacent areas. This type is the more mesic of the two and is characterized by a more diverse overstory that often includes Quercus hemisphaerica and Quercus nigra (more xeric stands with a purer Quercus virginiana overstory are accommodated by CEGL007028). Serenoa repens is a typical, and possibly dominant, shrub-layer species. It is believed that this community develops on sites that would have been occupied by Pinus palustris given sufficiently frequent fire-return intervals.
