Name: Pinus palustris / Quercus incana - Quercus margarettae / Cnidoscolus texanus - Stylisma pickeringii var. pattersonii Woodland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This xeric woodland of the West Gulf Coastal Plain is dominated by an open to fairly closed <i>Pinus palustris</i> canopy. <i>Pinus palustris</i> is usually the only overstory tree present in high-quality, well-burned examples. The presence of <i>Pinus echinata</i> and <i>Pinus taeda</i> in the canopy indicate lower quality examples. <i>Quercus margarettae</i> and <i>Quercus incana</i> are the next most important woody species, along with <i>Sassafras albidum</i>. The shrub layer may be dominated by <i>Vaccinium arboreum</i>. The herbaceous layer may be fairly sparse, yet distinguished by several West Gulf Coastal Plain endemics, and local xeric fidels. Considerable lichen cover (<i>Cladonia</i> spp. and <i>Cladina</i> spp.) may exist along with patches of exposed sand. This type exists in a matrix of pyrogenic <i>Pinus palustris</i> communities and experiences average fire-return intervals of 2-10 years.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:32475-{6B33A033-C5E7-4C96-BD6C-F9B5E6CD4C3A} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
