Name: Pinus palustris / Quercus incana - Quercus marilandica / Aristida beyrichiana - Nolina georgiana Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association occurs in subxeric habitats of the sandhills and inner South Atlantic Coastal Plain of eastern and central Georgia and adjacent South Carolina. <i>Pinus palustris</i> forms an open to closed canopy. A scrub oak stratum of <i>Quercus incana, Quercus marilandica</i>, and less typically <i>Quercus laevis</i> can be present as a subcanopy or shrub layer depending on fire regime, and occasional individuals may reach the canopy. The subcanopy may also contain <i>Carya alba</i>. The shrub layer can be sparse to dense and may contain <i>Diospyros virginiana, Gaylussacia dumosa (= var. dumosa), Vaccinium arboreum, Vaccinium stamineum, Sassafras albidum, Toxicodendron pubescens, Hypericum hypericoides</i>, and scrub oak sprouts. Dominants of the herbaceous stratum include <i>Aristida beyrichiana, Nolina georgiana, Schizachyrium scoparium, Sorghastrum nutans, Gelsemium sempervirens</i>, and <i>Tephrosia virginiana</i>. <i>Carphephorus bellidifolius</i> may be present in some examples, especially to the northern end of the range of this type. Other characteristic herbs include <i>Dichanthelium</i> sp., <i>Eriogonum tomentosum, Euphorbia</i> sp., <i>Gymnopogon brevifolius, Liatris pauciflora (= Liatris secunda), Pityopsis aspera var. adenolepis (= Pityopsis adenolepis), Ruellia caroliniensis, Salvia azurea var. azurea, Solidago odora var. odora</i>, and <i>Stylisma patens</i>.
