Name: Quercus geminata - Serenoa repens Dry Sclerophyll Forest Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance includes forests dominated by <i>Quercus geminata</i>. These occur on bayside shores of the mainland coast and inland on coarse sands. This alliance includes dry (sometimes called xeric) maritime hammocks of the northeastern coast of Florida, south at least to Cape Canaveral, and of the Florida Panhandle, and coastal areas of Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina. It also includes inland dry hammocks dominated by <i>Quercus geminata</i>, often with <i>Serenoa repens</i>. Other characteristic species include <i>Lyonia ferruginea, Morella cerifera, Osmanthus americanus var. americanus, Persea borbonia</i>, and <i>Quercus myrtifolia</i>. Characteristic shrubs may include <i>Ilex vomitoria, Lyonia fruticosa, Serenoa repens</i>, and <i>Sideroxylon lanuginosum</i>. The soils at sites where this alliance is found typically contain deep, infertile sands. Habitat for these forests is decreasing and many associations are now rare.
