Name: Pinus palustris / Quercus laevis - Quercus geminata / Vaccinium tenellum / Aristida stricta Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: These are xeric longleaf pine sandhills, occurring in the Outer Coastal Plain of North Carolina and South Carolina, on Kureb (Spodic Quartzipsamment) and Mandarin (Typic Haplohumod) soils. The canopy consists of an open (and sometimes very sparse) canopy of Pinus palustris. Quercus laevis is the predominant scrub oak, and Quercus geminata, Quercus hemisphaerica, Quercus incana, and Quercus margarettiae may also be present. Aristida stricta may be sparse to dense depending upon tree cover. Other typical species include Rhynchospora megalocarpa, Cladina evansii, Cladonia spp., Cnidoscolus stimulosus, Stipulicida setacea, Euphorbia ipecacuanhae, Selaginella acanthonota (= Selaginella arenicola ssp. acanthonota), and Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera var. pumila). This community often occurs in a mosaic with Pinus palustris / Quercus hemisphaerica - Quercus geminata / Aristida stricta / Cladina evansii - Cladonia spp. Woodland, which occupies less extremely xeric sites in the same landscape.
