Name: Pinus taeda / Morella cerifera / Spartina patens Tidal Woodland Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This loblolly pine tidal woodland occurs in narrow fringes on Maryland's Coastal Plain along tidal rivers and creeks, and occasionally upland of high salt marshes in nonriverine habitats. These open woodlands experience varying frequencies of tidal flooding and lack significant microtopographic features. The monospecific overstory is comprised of <i>Pinus taeda</i>, which also dominates the subcanopy, although successional hardwoods may be present. Scattered patches of <i>Morella cerifera</i> dominate the shrub layer, and the herbaceous layer is comprised of halophytic vegetation, including <i>Spartina patens, Panicum virgatum</i>, and <i>Distichlis spicata</i>. Many loblolly pines may be dead or dying in some stands due to tidal encroachment.  Accession Code: VB.CC.31012.CEGL006849 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
