Name: Pinus palustris / Quercus marilandica / Vaccinium crassifolium / Aristida stricta Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community occupies topographically high positions in the Fall-line Sandhills of North Carolina and South Carolina. Plinthite and sandstone outcrops are usually present, as well as reddish clay. An open canopy of <i>Pinus palustris</i> occurs. Typically, <i>Quercus marilandica</i> is the primary scrub oak, though others may be present. Shrubs, subshrubs, and woody vines (some of them indicative of moister soils than the topographic situation would indicate) include <i>Vaccinium crassifolium, Lyonia mariana, Cyrilla racemiflora, Pyxidanthera brevifolia, Galax urceolata, Clethra alnifolia, Kalmia latifolia, Nyssa sylvatica, Symplocos tinctoria, Gaylussacia dumosa (= var. dumosa), Gelsemium sempervirens</i>, and <i>Vaccinium tenellum</i>. Herbs include <i>Aristida stricta, Tephrosia virginiana</i>, and others. The combination of moist and xeric indicator species is distinctive.
