Name: Pinus serotina - Pinus elliottii var. elliottii / Cliftonia monophylla - Cyrilla racemiflora Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association represents one of several acid titi swamps of the East Gulf Coastal Plain and possibly the southern Atlantic Coastal Plain [see Similar Associations]. It potentially ranges from panhandle Florida northwards to South Carolina, but may be restricted to Florida, southeastern Alabama and Georgia. This type has an emergent overstory canopy dominated or codominated by Pinus serotina and Pinus elliottii var. elliottii. These swamps may occur on strongly acid, infertile, often peaty soils which are either shallowly inundated or waterlogged during wet seasons. They are usually isolated from more fire-prone flatwoods. The midstory is strongly dominated by Cliftonia monophylla and Cyrilla racemiflora, which tend to exclude invasion of other species, and which strongly suppress herbaceous understory species. Other evergreen species, such as Lyonia lucida and Ilex coriacea, may be common. Overall, species richness is quite low.
