Name: Pinus palustris - Pinus serotina Atlantic Coastal Plain Wet Open Woodland Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance includes mesic to wet savannas of the Atlantic Coastal Plain dominated by <i>Pinus palustris</i>, sometimes with <i>Pinus serotina</i>. These wet pinelands are often termed pine savannas, wet pine flatwoods, or wet pine savannas. They contain a diverse and variable field (herb) stratum, with much endemism of forb and graminoid herbs. The herbaceous layer in this woodland is well-developed and very species-rich. <i>Lyonia lucida</i> is a characteristic shrub. <i>Ctenium aromaticum</i> is a characteristic grass. Soils are fine-textured and include wet Alfisols and Ultisols. It ranges from the Carolinas south to eastern Florida.
