Name: Quercus laevis / (Andropogon virginicus, Aristida spp., Schizachyrium scoparium) Ruderal Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This ruderal association includes <i>Quercus laevis</i>-dominated vegetation on deep sandy soils of the Southeastern Coastal Plain. These stands most often occur where <i>Pinus palustris</i> has been removed and/or failed to regenerate due to fire suppression or other environmental modifications, including turpentining and logging. <i>Pinus palustris</i> is typically absent, even in the regenerating layer. However, canopy closure of some examples may exceed 60%. The relative density and diversity of the shrub and herb layers will vary with degree of fire suppression; the local expression will vary with latitude and the distributions of various shrub and herbaceous components, as well as with soil texture. Typical herbs are indicative of very dry or xeric moisture conditions, such as <i>Cnidoscolus stimulosus, Pityopsis graminifolia</i>, and <i>Callisia graminea</i>. <i>Cladonia</i> and <i>Cladina</i> spp. may be prominent in many examples.
