Name: Pinus palustris - Pinus echinata - Quercus (incana, margarettae) / Schizachyrium scoparium Woodland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This xeric forest develops on fuel-limited, xeric, deep sands within the range of <i>Pinus palustris</i> in the West Gulf Coastal Plain of Louisiana and Texas. An open canopy of some combination of <i>Pinus palustris, Pinus echinata</i>, and/or <i>Pinus taeda</i> is typically present. A midstory of <i>Quercus incana</i> or <i>Quercus margarettae</i> is usually present, indicative of the extreme droughtiness of the sites. The short-shrub stratum is patchy to dense and may include <i>Vaccinium arboreum, Ilex vomitoria, Sideroxylon lanuginosum ssp. lanuginosum, Asimina parviflora, Chionanthus virginicus, Stillingia sylvatica, Frangula caroliniana, Hamamelis virginiana</i>, and seedlings of canopy species. The scattered herbaceous layer contains <i>Schizachyrium scoparium, Aristida desmantha</i>, and <i>Cnidoscolus texanus</i>. Scattered fruticose lichens (<i>Cladonia</i> spp.) often occur. The ground cover is sparse, due to extreme site conditions. This community generally occurs on uplands surrounded by <i>Pinus palustris</i>-dominated woodlands.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35718-{07202BF6-E859-449B-9E91-67B78C897DAC} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
