Name: Pinus palustris / Aristida stricta - Sorghastrum nutans - Anthaenantia villosa Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This is a mesic longleaf pine community, without scrub oaks (or with very few individuals of Quercus marilandica), occurring in small areas in sandhill landscapes in the Fall-line Sandhills of North Carolina and South Carolina. Pinus palustris dominates the open to fairly dense canopy (rather often exceeding 60% canopy closure). Typical species are Schizachyrium scoparium, Andropogon gyrans var. gyrans, Anthaenantia villosa, Sorghastrum nutans, Ionactis linariifolius, Gymnopogon brevifolius, Panicum virgatum, Lespedeza capitata, Lespedeza hirta, and Desmodium tenuifolium. Topographically, this community tends to occur in a sandhill landscape, in low moist areas or in small swales on ridgetops or in broad incipient drainages. The boundary between this community and several associated communities which do have scrub oaks is often very sharp. When fire-suppressed, Quercus falcata, Liquidambar styraciflua, and Quercus marilandica may invade.
