Name: Pinus palustris / Schizachyrium scoparium - Rudbeckia grandiflora var. alismifolia Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This dry-mesic longleaf pine woodland of the West Gulf Coastal Plain is dominated by a 20- to 25-m tall <i>Pinus palustris</i> canopy with generally open cover. <i>Pinus echinata</i> and <i>Pinus taeda</i> may occasionally occur in the canopy but are never dominant. The herbaceous layer is abundant and diverse and dominated by graminoids, legumes, and composites. This community primarily occurs on rolling to gently rolling topography over acidic, well-drained sandy loams. This community occurs west of the Mississippi River in west-central Louisiana and eastern Texas, particularly on the Pleistocene High Terraces; where it was historically the primary matrix community. Typical soil types on which this association occurs are Ruston (fine sandy loam) and Smithdale (fine sandy loam). This is a pyrogenic community with fire-return intervals of 2-5 years.
