Name: Ceratiola ericoides - Quercus geminata - Ximenia americana / Cladonia spp. - Cladina spp. Shrubland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community is limited to ridges and dunes of the Florida peninsular coast. In this shrubland community <i>Ceratiola ericoides</i> is often present in nearly pure stands; scattered <i>Pinus clausa</i> and scrub oaks may be present. The herb layer is generally sparse and dominated by lichens (<i>Cladonia leporina, Cladonia prostrata, Cladina evansii</i>, and <i>Cladina subtenuis</i>). The white or light-colored sandy soils are well-drained and infertile. <i>Ceratiola ericoides</i> scrub is pyrogenic with fire frequencies of 30-40 years, depending on fuel availability and ignition sources.
