Name: (Pinus palustris) / Quercus georgiana Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This distinctive community occurs on the quartzite ridge (Hollis Formation) of Pine Mountain (Harris County, Georgia) primarily in the eastern portion of Franklin Delano Roosevelt State Park. This association covers large segments of the landscape in the vicinity of Dowdell Knob and on Bumblebee Ridge. <i>Quercus georgiana</i> is the overwhelming dominant woody species in the well-developed subcanopy and shrub layers. A sparse emergent layer of <i>Pinus palustris, Pinus echinata, Quercus montana</i>, and/or <i>Carya pallida</i> is typical with low cover values (&lt;10%). Other woody species of the shrub layer include <i>Vaccinium arboreum, Vaccinium stamineum, Vaccinium pallidum</i>, and <i>Hypericum hypericoides</i>. Most examples seem to exhibit signs of fire suppression, and the herbaceous layer is poorly developed. Characteristic forbs and graminoids include <i>Carex nigromarginata, Houstonia longifolia, Danthonia sericea, Aureolaria pectinata, Hypericum gentianoides, Packera anonyma, Viola pedata</i>, and <i>Piptochaetium avenaceum</i>.
