Name: Quercus inopina - Quercus geminata - Quercus chapmanii Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This shrubland is a xeromorphic shrubby community occurring in the central Florida peninsula and represents the more southern scrub oak community in Florida. The white or light-colored sandy soils are extremely well-drained and infertile. Oak scrub is pyrogenic with typical fire frequencies of 10-50 years, depending on fuel availability and ignition sources. The community consists of evergreen scrub oaks (<i>Quercus inopina, Quercus chapmanii, Quercus geminata</i>), along with <i>Ceratiola ericoides, Sideroxylon tenax, Lyonia ferruginea, Persea humilis</i>, and <i>Sabal etonia</i> on drier sites, and <i>Lyonia lucida</i> and <i>Serenoa repens</i> on wetter sites. <i>Ceratiola ericoides</i> and <i>Serenoa repens</i> or <i>Sabal etonia</i> may be present. <i>Ximenia americana</i> characterizes southern scrubs as well as the absence of deciduous shrubs such as <i>Vaccinium stamineum</i> and <i>Ilex decidua</i>. The absence of a <i>Pinus clausa</i> canopy characterizes central Florida scrubs. The herb layer is generally sparse and frequently dominated by lichens (<i>Cladonia leporina, Cladonia prostrata, Cladonia evansii</i>, and <i>Cladonia subtenuis</i>), in addition to many narrowly endemic species.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:32683-{295F90F6-F861-42E1-90B3-B093A3E23448} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
