Name: Quercus virginiana - Quercus (hemisphaerica, nigra) / Serenoa repens Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association represents one of two inland hammocks or oak domes with a dominant or significant canopy component of <i>Quercus virginiana</i> in Florida and adjacent areas. A variant occurs on older, well-developed landscapes of Cumberland Island National Seashore. This type is the more mesic of the two and is characterized by a more diverse overstory that often includes <i>Quercus hemisphaerica</i> and <i>Quercus nigra</i> (more xeric stands with a purer <i>Quercus virginiana</i> overstory are accommodated by ~<i>Quercus virginiana / Vaccinium arboreum - Ilex vomitoria</i> Forest (CEGL007028)$$). <i>Serenoa repens</i> is a typical, and possibly dominant, shrub-layer species. It is believed that this community develops on sites that would have been occupied by <i>Pinus palustris</i> given sufficiently frequent fire-return intervals.
