Name: Pinus palustris / Amorpha herbacea var. herbacea / Aristida stricta - Sorghastrum nutans Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This is a mesic longleaf pine community, without scrub oaks, occurring on mesic soils in the middle and outer Coastal Plain of North Carolina and South Carolina. <i>Pinus palustris</i> dominates the open to fairly dense canopy (rather often exceeding 60% canopy closure). Typical species are <i>Andropogon ternarius, Andropogon gyrans var. gyrans, Schizachyrium scoparium, Sorghastrum nutans, Panicum virgatum, Tephrosia florida, Lespedeza capitata, Amorpha herbacea var. herbacea</i>, and <i>Rhexia alifanus</i>. Topographically, this community occurs in fairly large flat expanses in a flatwoods landscape, and sometimes occurs in a matrix with wetter longleaf pine savanna communities. When fire-suppressed, <i>Quercus falcata, Liquidambar styraciflua, Acer rubrum, Quercus nigra</i>, and <i>Nyssa sylvatica</i> may invade.
