Name: Pinus elliottii var. elliottii / Cliftonia monophylla - Cyrilla racemiflora Woodland Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This association presumably represents swamps of the East Gulf Coastal Plain of Florida (and possibly Mississippi and Alabama) with overstory canopy dominated by Pinus elliottii var. elliottii. In addition, Pinus serotina may be present but not abundant. These swamps may occur on strongly acid, infertile, often peaty soils which are either shallowly inundated or waterlogged during wet seasons. They may be associated with blackwater areas and are usually isolated from more fire-prone flatwoods. In contrast to examples with a strong component of Pinus serotina, this association may inhabit deeper portions of acid swamps. 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.  Accession Code: VB.CC.27662.PINUSELLIOTTIIV Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
