Name: Pinus palustris / Quercus incana / Schizachyrium scoparium - Croton argyranthemus Woodland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This subxeric woodland of the West Gulf Coastal Plain is dominated by an open to fairly closed <i>Pinus palustris</i> canopy. <i>Pinus palustris</i> is usually the only overstory tree present in high-quality, well-burned examples. <i>Quercus incana</i> is the other most diagnostic and important woody species. Unlike more xeric sites, the herbaceous layer is fairly continuous and dominated by <i>Schizachyrium scoparium</i> with patches of lichen cover (<i>Cladonia</i> spp. and <i>Cladina</i> spp.) with patches of exposed sand encountered only infrequently. This community is further characterized by the presence of many species typical of very dry/subxeric sites of the region, such as <i>Croton argyranthemus, Tragia urticifolia, Tragia smallii</i>, and <i>Pityopsis graminifolia</i>. Indicator species of the most extreme xeric sites in the region (<i>Stylisma pickeringii, Cnidoscolus texanus, Eriogonum longifolium</i>, etc.) may be present but in relatively low levels.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:36623-{B837E749-0371-4F30-BE8A-FD09D4FFFE96} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
