Name: Pinus palustris - Pinus taeda - Pinus serotina / Chasmanthium laxum - Panicum virgatum Piedmont Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This is a wet longleaf pine community of the lower Piedmont of North Carolina (Moore, Montgomery, and Anson counties). Most of the very few examples remaining are fire-suppressed and their original composition and structure are somewhat hypothetical. The canopy is open to closed, and consists of <i>Pinus palustris, Pinus taeda</i>, and <i>Pinus serotina</i>. Under fire-suppressed conditions, <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i> is often present as an invader. The shrub stratum includes <i>Gaylussacia frondosa (= var. frondosa), Vaccinium fuscatum, Ilex glabra, Lyonia mariana</i>, and <i>Vaccinium crassifolium ssp. crassifolium</i>. The herb stratum is usually dominated by <i>Chasmanthium laxum</i> and <i>Panicum virgatum</i>, though <i>Aristida stricta</i> may rarely be present and common. Other herbs include <i>Eupatorium</i> spp., <i>Solidago odora var. odora, Rhynchospora</i> spp., and <i>Pityopsis graminifolia</i>.
