Name: Pinus palustris - Pinus taeda / Quercus geminata - Quercus hemisphaerica - Osmanthus americanus var. americanus / Aristida stricta Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community occurs on xeric sands within several miles of the coast in southeastern North Carolina and South Carolina. The canopy is sparse, and consists of Pinus palustris and Pinus taeda. The sparse to dense scrub oak subcanopy/shrub layer is dominated by Quercus geminata, Quercus hemisphaerica, Osmanthus americanus var. americanus, Quercus laevis, (sometimes) Quercus virginiana, and Vaccinium arboreum. Aristida stricta dominates the herbaceous layer, with often abundant Cladina evansii, Cladina spp., and Cladonia spp. Other characteristic species include Diospyros virginiana, Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera var. pumila), Gaylussacia dumosa (= var. dumosa), Ilex vomitoria, Rhynchospora megalocarpa, and Pityopsis graminifolia. Soils are usually Kureb (Typic Quartzipsamment) and Mandarin (Typic Haplohumod).
