Name: Pinus palustris / Quercus marilandica / Ilex vomitoria / Schizachyrium scoparium Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This West Gulf Coastal Plain woodland is comprised of an open to very open, typically somewhat stunted, <i>Pinus palustris</i> canopy (averaging 16-20 m in height). The hardwood subcanopy, comprised largely of <i>Quercus marilandica</i>, is also open to very open, and often occurs in scattered clumps. This type may be quite shrubby, even under frequent burning. This stratum may be strongly dominated by <i>Ilex vomitoria</i> (which is often the only species present in this stratum in Louisiana), along with <i>Callicarpa americana, Rhus copallinum, Vaccinium arboreum</i>, sprouts of <i>Quercus marilandica</i>, and sometimes <i>Quercus stellata</i>. <i>Schizachyrium scoparium</i> is the dominant herbaceous species, but a number of other herbs are present, some of which suggest the dry character of this type (for example, <i>Pityopsis graminifolia var. graminifolia</i> and <i>Oligoneuron nitidum (= Solidago nitida)</i>).
