Name: Magnolia virginiana - (Sabal palmetto) Tropical Shell Midden Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This tropical calciphilic community is thought to occur on Amerindian shell middens and natural shell deposits, in the tidal marsh landscape of tropical Florida. This is a low-confidence type; more information is needed on the extent and composition of examples of this community. Tropical hardwoods would share canopy dominance with the temperate nominal species <i>Magnolia virginiana</i> and <i>Sabal palmetto</i>. The putative range of this association is south of the extent of <i>Juniperus virginiana var. silicicola</i>, which would be absent from stands of this type. Composition is probably highly variable from site to site, depending on environmental conditions and fortuitous accidents of establishment and persistence.
