Name: Pinus palustris - Pinus (echinata, taeda) - Quercus (incana, laevis) Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This broadly defined association represents fire-suppressed (or otherwise ecologically disturbed) former <i>Pinus palustris</i>-dominated sandhills ranging throughout the Coastal Plain east of the Mississippi River. Unlike most natural <i>Pinus palustris</i>-dominated sandhills, the overstory of stands covered by this association support a mixture of <i>Pinus palustris, Pinus echinata</i>, and <i>Pinus taeda</i>. In addition, sandhill oak species may be found in the canopy and subcanopy with greater frequency than natural stands. Predominant oak species include <i>Quercus incana, Quercus falcata, Quercus laevis</i>, and/or <i>Quercus margarettae</i>. However, vegetation in any given stand may vary somewhat depending upon the severity of previous disturbance, including the length of fire exclusion. Related natural sandhill vegetation supporting mixed pines in the overstory are covered by other associations.
