Name: Pinus palustris - Pinus echinata / Quercus coccinea - Quercus georgiana Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community occurs on the quartzite ridge (Hollis Formation) of Pine Mountain (Harris County, Georgia). <i>Pinus palustris, Pinus echinata</i>, and <i>Pinus virginiana</i> share canopy dominance. Oaks include <i>Quercus coccinea, Quercus prinus, Quercus georgiana</i>, and <i>Quercus falcata</i>. The shrub layer contains <i>Prunus umbellata, Hypericum hypericoides, Vaccinium arboreum, Vaccinium pallidum</i>, and <i>Vaccinium tenellum</i>; <i>Tephrosia virginiana, Solidago odora, Schizachyrium scoparium</i>, and <i>Pteridium aquilinum var. pseudocaudatum</i> are present in the herb layer. Most of the area formerly occupied by this association are fire-suppressed and are now occupied by a mixed forest, with the oaks joining the pines in the canopy. Further information is needed to determine whether this association is distinct from other Piedmont/Mountain longleaf pine communities in this alliance.
