Name: Chrysoma pauciflosculosa - Schizachyrium maritimum Dune Scrub Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: Examples of this vegetation are usually strongly dominated by <i>Chrysoma pauciflosculosa</i>, often with a mixture of <i>Paronychia erecta</i>. Other characteristic species include <i>Galactia microphylla</i> (within its range), <i>Polygonella gracilis, Polygonella polygama</i>, and <i>Schizachyrium maritimum</i>. <i>Cladonia leporina</i> is a typical lichen component. These are evergreen shrublands found on sugar sands of stabilized coastal dunes in the East Gulf Coastal Plain of the United States from southern Mississippi to Panhandle Florida. More chronically or recently disturbed dunes support communities dominated by herbaceous species, and later successional dunes are dominated by <i>Ceratiola ericoides</i>. The ideal long-term natural successional pathway is from grasslands dominated by <i>Schizachyrium maritimum</i>, to dwarf-shrublands dominated by <i>Chrysoma pauciflosculosa</i>, to shrublands dominated by <i>Ceratiola ericoides</i>. This pathway is often interrupted by hurricane events.
