Name: Pinus palustris / Quercus minima / Aristida beyrichiana - Carphephorus odoratissimus Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This subxeric community occurs in the Apalachicola Embayment region of the Florida Panhandle lowlands physiographic province, east of the Apalachicola River. Generalizations regarding soil types are difficult, as this association inhabits Entisols, Ultisols, and Spodosols. However, deposits are all of Pleistocene origin. Soils are typically moderately well-drained and located on low rises embedded in large landscapes of mesic flatwoods. This association has strong mesic flatwoods affinities, which is not surprising considering its landscape context. <i>Pinus palustris</i> is the canopy dominant; the midstory is strongly dominated by <i>Quercus laevis</i>, but <i>Quercus incana</i>, and <i>Quercus hemisphaerica</i> may also be present. The subshrub ground cover is remarkable in its mixture of typically sandhill and flatwoods species; <i>Licania michauxii</i> (typical of sandhills) co-occurs with an assortment of flatwoods subshrubs, including <i>Gaylussacia dumosa, Ilex glabra, Serenoa repens, Vaccinium myrsinites, Morella cerifera</i>, and <i>Quercus minima</i>. The herbaceous layer is dominated by <i>Aristida beyrichiana</i>. Herbaceous indicators include several species typical of mesic flatwoods, such as <i>Carphephorus odoratissimus, Mimosa microphylla</i>, and <i>Symphyotrichum adnatum</i>.
