Name: Pinus serotina - Gordonia lasianthus / Lyonia lucida Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community occurs in Outer Coastal Plain peat domes and large peat-filled Carolina bays of eastern North Carolina and northern South Carolina. The open canopy consists of mixtures of <i>Pinus serotina</i> and <i>Gordonia lasianthus</i>, generally codominant. Various pocosin shrubs form a dense shrub stratum; typical species include <i>Lyonia lucida, Ilex glabra, Ilex coriacea, Smilax laurifolia, Persea palustris</i>, and others. The herb stratum is typically very sparse. In some areas, as in the Green Swamp, Brunswick County, North Carolina, this community occurs as islands in <i>Pinus serotina / Cyrilla racemiflora - Lyonia lucida</i> Woodland (Kologiski 1977). In other areas, it forms the landscape matrix in unbroken blocks of up to 100 square kilometers.
