Name: Pinus palustris / Asimina angustifolia / Aristida beyrichiana - Schizachyrium scoparium - Dyschoriste oblongifolia Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This dry-mesic <i>Pinus palustris</i> woodland is found in the Dougherty Plain and the Tifton Upland of southwestern Georgia. It also has been documented from the Marianna Lowlands of the Florida Panhandle and should be expected to occur in the Dougherty Plain of southeastern Alabama. Stands are dominated by <i>Pinus palustris</i>, with <i>Asimina angustifolia, Aristida beyrichiana, Schizachyrium scoparium</i>, and <i>Dyschoriste oblongifolia</i> occurring as constant and diagnostic species. Other distinctive and characteristic species include <i>Croton argyranthemus, Ceanothus microphyllus, Tephrosia florida, Pediomelum canescens, Sorghastrum secundum</i>, and <i>Schizachyrium tenerum</i>. A large number of other species can be found in examples of this association which has a very high diversity of grass, legume and composite components. Many plots will include over one hundred species of vascular plants. It typically occupies undulating terrain with relatively high topographic variability and is associated with Ocala limestone in a karst setting at examples documented from the Jones Ecological Research Center (Ichauway). It also occurs on the Miccosukee Formation (Pliocene unconsolidated clays and mud) in the Tifton Upland. Examples from the Marianna Lowlands occur on residuum deposited over Oligocene sediments on portions of the Chattahoochee "Anticline."
