Name: Pinus palustris / Aristida spp. - Schizachyrium scoparium Southeastern Coastal Plain Woodland Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: These are open woodlands of <i>Pinus palustris</i> sometimes with a component of other pines or hardwood trees such as <i>Pinus echinata, Pinus taeda</i>, or <i>Quercus falcata</i>. The tall-shrub stratum is very sparse, making these woodlands park-like with scenic views. The herbaceous layer is dominated by wiregrasses <i>Aristida beyrichiana</i> and <i>Aristida stricta</i>, and other grasses such as <i>Andropogon</i> spp. <i>Aristida purpurascens, Sorghastrum nutans, Schizachyrium scoparium</i>, and <i>Schizachyrium tenerum</i>. These woodlands are found in the Southeastern Coastal Plain on upland soils which have finer texture than the coarse sands, and can include fine sands, loamy sands, sandy loams, and loam soils.
