Name: Pinus palustris / Quercus laevis / Aristida beyrichiana - Pterocaulon pycnostachyum Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association contains subxeric <i>Pinus palustris</i> communities of northern and central peninsular Florida. Soils are Entisols and Ultisols with relatively high seasonal water tables, base saturation, and fine particle composition (although silt and clay composition remains very low, &lt;5% in the surface soil). This association is characterized by a scattered <i>Pinus palustris</i> canopy with an <i>Aristida beyrichiana</i>-dominated ground layer. <i>Quercus laevis</i> is the most abundant and constant species in the subcanopy layer, but <i>Quercus geminata</i> and <i>Quercus incana</i> may also be present and typically less abundant than <i>Quercus laevis</i>. Dominants, in addition to the nominals, include <i>Licania michauxii, Serenoa repens</i>, and <i>Vaccinium stamineum</i> in shrub layer and <i>Pityopsis graminifolia</i> and <i>Schizachyrium scoparium var. stoloniferum</i> in the herbaceous layer. The herbaceous layer is considerably more species-rich than xeric associations in peninsular Florida, with particularly high diversity in the legume family.
