Name: Pinus echinata / Quercus incana / Selaginella arenicola ssp. riddellii Woodland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This xeric stream terrace forest/woodland of the West Gulf Coastal Plain occurs on very well-drained Pleistocene terraces and low, broad ridges on deep, acidic sandy soils. The open canopy consists of <i>Pinus echinata</i> (sometimes with some <i>Pinus taeda</i> as well). An open to dense subcanopy consists of <i>Quercus margarettae, Quercus incana</i>, and <i>Quercus hemisphaerica</i>. The patchy to open shrub stratum may include <i>Sideroxylon lanuginosum, Vaccinium arboreum, Frangula caroliniana, Asimina parviflora, Chionanthus virginicus, Stillingia sylvatica, Vitis aestivalis var. lincecumii</i>. Due to xeric conditions, graminoids and forbs are very sparse in this community, and patches of exposed sand are common. Typical herbs include <i>Selaginella arenicola ssp. riddellii, Opuntia humifusa, Cnidoscolus texanus, Aristida desmantha, Tephrosia virginiana, Cyperus grayoides</i>, and <i>Carex tenax</i>. Lichens (<i>Cladonia</i> spp.) and spikemoss (<i>Selaginella arenicola ssp. riddellii</i>) form large patches.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:32432-{AA760A47-D14A-4235-9EE7-69E6EF5A272F} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
