Name: Pinus palustris - Pinus (echinata, taeda) / (Liquidambar styraciflua) / Schizachyrium scoparium Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association includes various regenerated, silviculturally altered, and/or naturally fire-suppressed <i>Pinus palustris</i> woodlands in Louisiana and Texas, primarily the West Gulf Coastal Plain. It is broadly defined to represent the wide variation which can be present in semi-natural and/or fire-suppressed longleaf pine stands. This type is recognized by the presence of <i>Pinus echinata</i> and/or <i>Pinus taeda</i> in the overstory (abundant enough to constitute 25-75% of the canopy density) along with <i>Pinus palustris</i>. It includes silviculturally managed stands of <i>Pinus palustris</i> as well as fire-suppressed or otherwise ecologically disturbed longleaf pine forests with oaks or other hardwoods that may enter the canopy. This association tentatively applies to longleaf stands along the range periphery of the species in Texas, where stands are heavily mixed in the overstory.
