Name: Pinus palustris / Schizachyrium scoparium - Pteridium aquilinum Woodland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This longleaf pine woodland occurs in a variety of xeric to subxeric situations on upland ridges, knolls, and slopes of the East Gulf Coastal Plain of Georgia and less commonly in the Fall-line Sandhills region of South Carolina. Surface soils are typically sandy loams with very high silt content, often in association with ironstone hardpans or other clayey B horizons. The relatively closed canopy is dominated by <i>Pinus palustris</i> while the subcanopy layer is typically open and is characterized by a mix of scrub oaks and mesic hardwood species. Despite high percentages of silt, the herb layer is not particularly species-rich, but legume and Asteraceae diversity is high compared to other xeric-subxeric types. The two most abundant and constant species in the herbaceous layer are <i>Pteridium aquilinum</i> and <i>Schizachyrium scoparium</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:36552-{C69A66DE-B7CD-472E-8712-E0B6E48B2824} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 33
