Name: Pinus palustris / Quercus laevis / Schizachyrium scoparium - Stipulicida setacea Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This xeric association occurs primarily in the Fall-line Sandhills region of the South Atlantic Coastal Plain of Georgia and adjacent South Carolina, but can occur on isolated pockets of coarse sand further east along major rivers. This type occurs on xeric, coarse sands and is relatively species-poor. <i>Pinus palustris</i> forms an open canopy and <i>Quercus laevis</i> is the dominant species in the subcanopy layer, although <i>Quercus incana</i> and <i>Quercus margarettae</i> are also typical. The shrub layer is relatively sparse and is characterized most notably by <i>Gaylussacia dumosa</i> and <i>Vaccinium stamineum</i>. The two most abundant species in the herbaceous stratum are <i>Aristida beyrichiana</i> and <i>Schizachyrium scoparium</i>, although <i>Aristida beyrichiana</i> is absent in this type in the wiregrass gap of South Carolina. Other characteristic herbaceous species include classic xerophytes such as <i>Cnidoscolus urens var. stimulosus, Aureolaria pectinata, Euphorbia ipecacuanhae, Minuartia caroliniana, Stipulicida setacea</i>, and <i>Stylisma patens</i>.
