Name: Pinus palustris - Pinus serotina / Quercus laevis / Gaylussacia frondosa / Schizachyrium scoparium Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This somewhat xeric association occurs primarily in the Inner Coastal Plain of North Carolina and South Carolina on coarse, dry sands. However, it appears to be ecotonal in nature, and hence includes a unique mix of xerophytes and mesic species. The open canopy is dominated by <i>Pinus palustris</i>, although <i>Pinus serotina</i> and <i>Pinus taeda</i> are often common and abundant. <i>Gaylussacia frondosa</i> is the most diagnostic and abundant species in the shrub layer. Other common shrub species include <i>Gaylussacia dumosa, Vaccinium tenellum, Lyonia mariana</i>, and <i>Morella cerifera</i>. The herbaceous layer of this type is relatively sparse and codominated by <i>Aristida stricta</i> and <i>Schizachyrium scoparium</i>.
