Name: A.1054
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: Low pocosins of Outer Coastal Plain peat domes. ~Zenobia pulverulenta, Lyonia lucida, Ilex glabra, Ilex coriacea$, and sometimes ~Cyrilla racemiflora$ are characteristic species and usually codominant in various combinations. This alliance includes mixed evergreen-deciduous low pocosins of peat domes (ombrotrophic blanket bogs) of the Outer Coastal Plain of North Carolina. In these examples, the shrub height (0.5-2 m) is maintained primarily by extremely poor nutrient status, and secondarily by occasional fire. These typically have very scattered, stunted (less than 5 m tall) ~Pinus serotina$ (less than 10% cover). Other characteristic species include ~Ilex coriacea, Lyonia lucida$, and ~Woodwardia virginica$.
