Name: Pinus palustris / Amorpha herbacea var. herbacea / Aristida stricta - Sorghastrum nutans Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This is a mesic longleaf pine community, without scrub oaks, occurring on mesic soils in the middle and outer Coastal Plain of North Carolina and South Carolina. Pinus palustris dominates the open to fairly dense canopy (rather often exceeding 60% canopy closure). Typical species are Andropogon ternarius, Andropogon gyrans var. gyrans, Schizachyrium scoparium, Sorghastrum nutans, Panicum virgatum, Tephrosia florida, Lespedeza capitata, Amorpha herbacea var. herbacea, and Rhexia alifanus. Topographically, this community occurs in fairly large flat expanses in a flatwoods landscape, and sometimes occurs in a matrix with wetter longleaf pine savanna communities. When fire-suppressed, Quercus falcata, Liquidambar styraciflua, Acer rubrum, Quercus nigra, and Nyssa sylvatica may invade.
