Name: Hypericum reductum / Aristida stricta Dwarf-shrubland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association represents very small-scale and localized depressions or swales in extremely xeric sandhills in southeastern North Carolina. <i>Hypericum reductum</i> dominates the shrub layer, while other scattered shrubs such as <i>Lyonia mariana</i> and <i>Gaylussacia dumosa (= var. dumosa)</i> may be present. <i>Aristida stricta</i> and <i>Andropogon</i> spp. are the dominant herbs. In this landscape, <i>Aristida stricta</i> is restricted to this community, apparently because of the extremely xeric conditions of the surrounding sandhill community [see ~<i>Pinus palustris / Quercus laevis / Aristida purpurascens - Stipulicida setacea - (Rhynchospora megalocarpa, Selaginella acanthonota)</i> Woodland (CEGL003590)$$].
