Name: Pinus palustris / Quercus margarettae / Toxicodendron pubescens / Schizachyrium scoparium Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association spans a broad geographic range of subxeric longleaf pine woodlands of the Inner Coastal Plain from central South Carolina to the Alabama border. It occurs on silty sites. Because of its broad spatial distribution, there is some turnover of species in this type depending on geographic position. However, the subcanopy is consistently dominated by <i>Quercus margarettae</i> with slightly lesser amounts of <i>Quercus laevis</i> and <i>Quercus incana</i>, reflecting the subxeric, silty nature of the sites. The high frequency of <i>Toxicodendron pubescens</i> also suggests the silty, subxeric nature of soils this type occurs on, as does the abundance of legumes. <i>Aristida beyrichiana</i> can be a ground layer dominant, but the type extends beyond the range of the species, both in central South Carolina and in western Georgia. The herbaceous layer is species-rich, reflecting the silty nature of the soils of this type. Other characteristic species include <i>Carya tomentosa, Rhus copallinum, Ceanothus americanus, Lespedeza hirta, Mimosa microphylla, Clitoria mariana, Ionactis linariifolius, Pityopsis graminifolia</i>, and <i>Solidago odora</i>.
