Name: Pinus echinata - Quercus (incana, stellata, margarettae) / Cnidoscolus texanus Woodland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This shortleaf pine-oak forest/woodland occurs on xeric sandy uplands west of the Mississippi River in the Upper West Gulf Coastal Plain and less frequently in the West Gulf Coastal Plain ecoregions. Many examples may appear to be short-statured woodlands of <i>Quercus incana, Quercus margarettae</i>, and <i>Quercus stellata</i> with a sparse, emergent canopy of <i>Pinus echinata</i>. The ground cover ranges from patchy to sparse, due to the xeric conditions and the variable effects of fire management. Relative density of herbs may be quite low, but those present are often found almost exclusively on such sites in the region. Such characteristic species include <i>Opuntia humifusa, Cnidoscolus texanus, Eriogonum longifolium, Eriogonum multiflorum, Penstemon murrayanus, Polanisia erosa, Polygonella americana, Polygonella polygama</i>, and <i>Zornia bracteata</i>. Many examples may contain scattered patches of fruticose lichens (<i>Cladonia</i> spp.) and possibly spike-moss (<i>Selaginella arenicola ssp. riddellii</i>).  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35712-{28FBCE96-C6B5-4220-AE40-030ACBFB8E3D} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
