Name: Pinus serotina - Pinus elliottii var. elliottii / Cliftonia monophylla - Cyrilla racemiflora Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association represents one of several acidic titi swamps of the East Gulf Coastal Plain and possibly the southern Atlantic Coastal Plain [see Similar Associations]. It potentially ranges from panhandle Florida northwards to South Carolina, but may be restricted to Florida, southeastern Alabama and Georgia. This type has an emergent overstory canopy dominated or codominated by <i>Pinus serotina</i> and <i>Pinus elliottii var. elliottii</i>. These swamps may occur on strongly acidic, infertile, often peaty soils which are either shallowly inundated or waterlogged during wet seasons. They are usually isolated from more fire-prone flatwoods. The midstory is strongly dominated by <i>Cliftonia monophylla</i> and <i>Cyrilla racemiflora</i>, which tend to exclude invasion of other species, and which strongly suppress herbaceous understory species. Other evergreen species, such as <i>Lyonia lucida</i> and <i>Ilex coriacea</i>, may be common. Overall, species richness is quite low.
