Name: Pinus palustris / Quercus incana / Sporobolus clandestinus Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This xeric <i>Pinus palustris</i> association occurs in the Florida parishes of eastern Louisiana and may range into adjacent areas of southern Mississippi. This area represents a western attenuation of East Gulf Coastal Plain longleaf pine sandhills, beyond the natural range of a number of taxa distributed farther eastward. In addition, sites in this region tend to have siltier, less coarse-textured soils than are typically found in Florida (Peet and Allard 1990). Stands of this type are dominated by an open canopy of <i>Pinus palustris</i>. A subcanopy containing <i>Quercus incana</i> indicates the presence of finer-textured, siltier soils. <i>Sporobolus clandestinus</i> is a typical herbaceous component. Other characteristic species include <i>Schizachyrium scoparium, Commelina erecta, Gaylussacia dumosa (= var. dumosa), Ilex ambigua, Pityopsis graminifolia, Vaccinium arboreum</i>, and <i>Zornia bracteata</i>.
