Name: Juniperus virginiana var. silicicola - (Quercus virginiana, Sabal palmetto) Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association occupies marsh hammocks (small islands surrounded by tidal marsh) along the South Atlantic Coast from eastern North Carolina south through South Carolina and Georgia to northeastern Florida. Related vegetation along central Florida spring runs is also covered here for now. The canopy can be relatively open or completely closed. <i>Juniperus virginiana var. silicicola</i> typically dominates the canopy, while other species such as <i>Quercus virginiana, Sabal palmetto</i>, and <i>Celtis laevigata var. laevigata</i> may be present. This association is related to other associations in this alliance in the same geographic range but differs in being shorter in stature, coastal red-cedar-dominated, with fewer strata, and floristically depauperate (often with some marsh species present).
