Name: Pinus palustris / Quercus laevis - Quercus geminata / Rhynchospora megalocarpa Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: These are extremely xeric longleaf pine sandhills, typically with a very sparse <i>Pinus palustris</i> canopy (5-25%) that are restricted to northern South Carolina and North Carolina. The scrub oak layer is sparse to dense, consisting of mostly <i>Quercus laevis</i>, but also often with <i>Quercus hemisphaerica</i> and <i>Quercus geminata</i>, in contrast to other sand barrens, which are dominated only by <i>Quercus laevis</i>. Stands of this type are so xeric that <i>Aristida stricta</i> is either sparse or absent. Species diversity in the herb layer is generally very low and consists primarily of extreme xerophytes.
