Name: Pinus palustris / Schizachyrium scoparium - Muhlenbergia expansa - Arnoglossum ovatum Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This seasonally saturated longleaf pine - pond pine - loblolly pine woodland association is restricted to wet and moist Ultisols of the wiregrass gap region of South Carolina. The open canopy of this association is dominated by a combination of Pinus palustris, Pinus serotina, and Pinus taeda. The ground layer is dominated by Schizachyrium scoparium, Muhlenbergia expansa, Ctenium aromaticum, Setaria parviflora, and Eryngium yuccifolium. Several species thought to be indicative of shallow lime bedrock (i.e., coquina limestone) occur commonly in this association, including Setaria parviflora, Panicum virgatum, Arnoglossum ovatum, Plantago sparsiflora, and Apocynum cannabinum. However, the stand in Francis Marion National Forest, South Carolina, on which the present description is primarily based, occurs on a Wahee loam, an Ultisol not evidently associated with shallow limestone. The stand is directly adjacent to a hardwood-dominated drainage, however, so there may be some extruding limestone.
