Name: Pinus elliottii var. elliottii / Spartina patens - Juncus roemerianus - (Panicum virgatum) Woodland
Reference: Carr, S. C., K. M. Robertson, an...
Description: This slash pine woodland occurs in immediate near-coastal areas of the East Gulf Coastal Plain and possibly adjacent areas of the South Atlantic Coastal Plain. It has a high water table maintained by its occurrence on flat shores very slightly above sea level. It is not inundated by normal lunar tides, but receives inundation in storm and hurricane events. The typically open (though sometimes dense) canopy is dominated by <i>Pinus elliottii var. elliottii</i>. The subcanopy is generally poorly developed; the shrub stratum may be well- or poorly developed, with species such as <i>Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera), Serenoa repens, Ilex glabra, Baccharis halimifolia, Persea palustris, Iva frutescens</i>, and scattered <i>Sabal minor</i> present. The herbaceous stratum is dense and typically consists of <i>Spartina patens, Juncus roemerianus, Rhynchospora</i> sp., and <i>Panicum virgatum</i>.
