Name: Pinus palustris / Quercus geminata / Conradina canescens / Aristida beyrichiana Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This xeric sandhill association is restricted to lowland areas within a few miles of the Gulf Coast, in the western Florida Panhandle (west of the Apalachicola River). Soils of this association are Entisols; however, they are often only moderately well-drained due to higher water tables and, in some cases, the presence of weak spodic horizons. Surface soils are coarse sands, with very low fine silt content. <i>Pinus palustris</i> dominates the canopy of this association, while the midstory is composed of equal parts <i>Quercus laevis, Quercus incana</i>, and <i>Quercus geminata</i>. The shrub layer is well-developed and diverse and characterized by <i>Conradina canescens, Serenoa repens</i>, and indicators <i>Ilex glabra, Licania michauxii</i>, and <i>Opuntia humifusa</i>. Dominant ground cover bunchgrasses include <i>Aristida beyrichiana, Sorghastrum secundum</i>, and <i>Schizachyrium scoparium</i>.
