Name: Carya glabra - (Quercus hemisphaerica) / Serenoa repens / Chasmanthium sessiliflorum Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: These maritime forests occur on dry soils of barrier islands and similar environments on the coast of Georgia. The canopy is chiefly dominated by <i>Carya glabra</i>, but may also contain <i>Quercus hemisphaerica, Quercus austrina, Quercus geminata, Magnolia grandiflora, Pinus taeda</i>, and <i>Pinus elliottii</i>. <i>Serenoa repens</i> is often the most important shrub species, becoming dense in parts of the community. Other shrubs and woody vines include <i>Sabal palmetto, Ilex opaca var. opaca, Ilex vomitoria, Vaccinium arboreum, Persea borbonia</i>, and <i>Vitis rotundifolia</i>. Dominant herbaceous species include <i>Chasmanthium sessiliflorum, Chasmanthium laxum, Piptochaetium avenaceum, Scleria triglomerata</i>, and <i>Dichanthelium</i> spp. The epiphytes <i>Tillandsia usneoides</i> and <i>Pleopeltis polypodioides</i> may be present. Prior to the spread of laurel wilt, a disease caused by the non-native redbay ambrosia beetle (<i>Xyleborus glabratus</i>), <i>Persea borbonia</i> would have been an important component in some examples of this community.
