Name: Pinus palustris / Schizachyrium scoparium - Liatris pycnostachya Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This mesic longleaf pine woodland occurs in the West Gulf Coastal Plain. It is dominated by a generally open canopy of mature, tall <i>Pinus palustris</i> (20-25 m in height). The herbaceous layer is extremely diverse and is dominated by graminoids, legumes, and composites. This community occurs on gently rolling topography over moderately well-drained silt loams and fine sandy loams, typically downslope from "tableland" flatwoods which occur on broad flat ridgetops. This community occurs west of the Mississippi River in west-central Louisiana and eastern Texas, particularly on the Pleistocene Intermediate and High Terraces, and also possibly on the Fleming Formation. This is a pyrogenic community with fire-return intervals of 2-5 years.
