Name: Pinus serotina / Cyrilla racemiflora - Lyonia lucida - Ilex glabra Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This woodland, with a canopy dominated by Pinus serotina (cover greater than 50%) over a dense shrub layer, occurs within a mosaic of other peatland communities on poorly drained interstream flats of outer coastal terraces. The canopy is variable in closure, from closed to fairly sparse; larger shrubs range from 2-4 m in height. The community also occurs in isolated wetlands such as Carolina bays. Other canopy species in this community can include Gordonia lasianthus, Magnolia virginiana, Persea palustris, Acer rubrum var. trilobum (in fire-suppressed examples), Pinus taeda (in disturbed examples), and less commonly, Chamaecyparis thyoides. The bay species, Gordonia lasianthus, Persea palustris, and Magnolia virginiana, are present also in the shrub layer. Other shrubs present include Ilex myrtifolia, Clethra alnifolia, Morella caroliniensis (= Myrica heterophylla), Photinia pyrifolia (= Aronia arbutifolia), and Viburnum nudum var. nudum. Herbs generally are not common. This community is present on the Coastal Plain from northern North Carolina to South Carolina, but probably absent from Georgia and northern Florida.
