Name: Pinus palustris / Schizachyrium scoparium - Muhlenbergia expansa - Arnoglossum ovatum Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This seasonally saturated longleaf pine - pond pine - loblolly pine woodland association is restricted to wet and moist Ultisols of the wiregrass gap region of South Carolina. The open canopy of this association is dominated by a combination of <i>Pinus palustris, Pinus serotina</i>, and <i>Pinus taeda</i>. The ground layer is dominated by <i>Schizachyrium scoparium, Muhlenbergia expansa, Ctenium aromaticum, Setaria parviflora</i>, and <i>Eryngium yuccifolium</i>. Several species thought to be indicative of shallow lime bedrock (i.e., coquina limestone) occur commonly in this association, including <i>Setaria parviflora, Panicum virgatum, Arnoglossum ovatum, Plantago sparsiflora</i>, and <i>Apocynum cannabinum</i>. However, the stand in Francis Marion National Forest, South Carolina, on which the present description is primarily based, occurs on a Wahee loam, an Ultisol not evidently associated with shallow limestone. The stand is directly adjacent to a hardwood-dominated drainage, however, so there may be some extruding limestone.
