Name: Pinus clausa / Quercus geminata - Quercus myrtifolia Scrub Forest & Woodland Group
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: The vegetation of this group generally has an emergent overstory of <i>Pinus clausa</i> over xeromorphic shrub vegetation, including <i>Quercus geminata, Quercus chapmanii, Quercus myrtifolia</i>, and <i>Quercus inopina</i>. Ground cover is always sparse, and bare soil patches are typically evident. It is found on a sequence of sand ridges and ancient dune fields which are oriented from north to south in the Florida Peninsula. The appearance, floristics, and boundary of Florida scrub contrast dramatically with the "high pine" or sandhill vegetation which can be adjacent.
