Name: A.1061
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: Evergreen shrublands of sugar sands from southern Mississippi to Panhandle Florida, north to Georgia, and possibly to South Carolina. Most typically, this alliance occurs in coastal dune sands of the East Gulf Coastal Plain. It occupies stabilized dunes, usually strongly dominated by ~Chrysoma pauciflosculosa$, usually with a mixture of ~Conradina canescens$. Other characteristic species include ~Ceratiola ericoides, Galactia microphylla, Polygonella gracilis, Polygonella polygama (= var. polygama), Paronychia erecta$, and ~Schizachyrium maritimum$. ~Cladonia leporina$ is a typical lichen component. The ideal long-term natural successional pathway is from grasslands dominated by ~Schizachyrium maritimum$, to dwarf-shrublands dominated by ~Chrysoma pauciflosculosa$, to shrublands dominated by ~Ceratiola ericoides$; this pathway is often interrupted by hurricane events, however.
