Description:
This forest community occurs on deep sandy soils in fire-protected slopes and ravines of the South Atlantic Coastal Plain, associated with a matrix of sandhill longleaf pine woodlands and associated wetlands. Wetlands, relatively steep topography, and sandstone rock outcrops apparently provide fire protection. This community is dominated by a mix of oak and hickory species, including <i>Quercus alba, Quercus rubra, Quercus stellata, Quercus margarettiae, Quercus coccinea, Quercus velutina, Carya glabra, Carya pallida, Carya alba</i>, and <i>Nyssa sylvatica</i>. The shrub and woody-vine stratum is dominated by <i>Vaccinium pallidum</i> but also includes <i>Calycanthus floridus, Viburnum acerifolium, Symplocos tinctoria, Kalmia latifolia, Smilax glauca, Prunus serotina var. serotina, Diospyros virginiana, Sassafras albidum, Clethra alnifolia</i>, and <i>Vitis rotundifolia</i>. Herbs are few, including <i>Dichanthelium commutatum, Hexastylis arifolia var. arifolia, Tephrosia virginiana</i>, and <i>Stylisma humistrata</i>.
