Name: Pinus palustris / Quercus marilandica / Gaylussacia dumosa / Aristida stricta Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This longleaf pine/scrub oak association is distributed primarily in the Fall-line Sandhills of south-central North Carolina and north-central South Carolina, and also occurs in more scattered areas in the middle and outer Coastal Plain of southeastern North Carolina and northeastern South Carolina. <i>Pinus palustris</i> dominates the open canopy. <i>Quercus marilandica</i> is the dominant scrub oak, with smaller amounts of <i>Quercus laevis, Quercus incana</i>, and <i>Quercus margarettiae</i> (all of varying stature and density depending on fire history). <i>Gaylussacia dumosa (= var. dumosa)</i> and <i>Vaccinium tenellum</i> are often common. Aristida stricta dominates the herb layer. Other typical species include <i>Schizachyrium scoparium, Andropogon ternarius, Andropogon gyrans var. gyrans, Tephrosia virginiana, Silphium compositum, Pityopsis graminifolia, Scleria triglomerata, Rhynchosia reniformis, Symphyotrichum walteri (= Aster walteri), Ionactis linariifolius, Tragia urens, Toxicodendron pubescens, Sassafras albidum</i>, and <i>Diospyros virginiana</i>. Typical soils are Vaucluse (Typic Hapludult), Gilead (Aquic Hapludult), Dothan (Plinthic Paleudult), and Fuquay (Plinthic Paleudult). This association often occurs in landscape complexes with other associations in this alliance.
