Name: Pinus palustris / Quercus margarettiae - Quercus incana / Schizachyrium scoparium Atlantic Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This is a subxeric Pinus palustris-dominated woodland of the Outer Coastal Plain of South Carolina, found on well-drained (but not xeric) sandy soils, including the Chipley series. Pinus palustris dominates the open canopy of stands of this association. The subcanopy contains Quercus margarettiae and Quercus incana, in preference to Quercus laevis (which would be typical of more xeric sites). Some Quercus falcata may also be present. Schizachyrium scoparium is a typical herbaceous component; wiregrasses (Aristida spp.) are not typically found, as this association is restricted to the wiregrass gap of central South Carolina. Pteridium aquilinum is also common, particularly under certain fire regimes.
