Comm #651	Quercus hemisphaerica - Magnolia grandiflora - Carya pallida / Vaccinium arboreum / Chasmanthium sessiliflorum Forest » more details accession code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:33565-{6565F58F-E088-4C65-866B-E6C512E078EA}	NatureServe Biotics 2019	29	This association represents upland forests with diverse overstory composition found in fire-protected areas of the Coastal Plain of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, and possibly adjacent areas. Stands have been documented on gentle slopes on stream and river bluffs and near sinkholes. A number of different species may be encountered in the overstory of these stands; <i>Quercus hemisphaerica</i> is possibly the most constant and differential species. Other tree species may include <i>Pinus taeda, Magnolia grandiflora, Carya glabra, Carya pallida</i>, and <i>Quercus nigra</i>. In addition, <i>Quercus hemisphaerica</i> is common in all strata. Typical shrubs and small trees include <i>Persea borbonia, Persea palustris, Symplocos tinctoria</i>, and <i>Vaccinium arboreum</i>. Common shrubs are <i>Vaccinium arboreum, Vaccinium stamineum</i>, and <i>Serenoa repens</i>. Typical herbs include <i>Chasmanthium laxum, Chasmanthium sessiliflorum, Mitchella repens, Elephantopus elatus</i>, and <i>Dichanthelium commutatum</i>.

Comm #653	Hazardia squarrosa - Artemisia californica Shrubland » more details accession code: VB.CC.37440.CEGL003691		29	This shrubland association occurs on moderately steep to steep northwest- and northeast-facing slopes at low elevations between 30 and 542 m. It is characterized by a dominance of <i>Hazardia squarrosa</i> and a subdominance of <i>Artemisia californica</i> in the shrub layer. In the herbaceous layer there is a mixture of several native and non-native species, none of which are particularly characteristic. The emergent tree layer is usually absent.
Comm #654	Adenostoma fasciculatum - Salvia mellifera Shrubland » more details accession code: VB.CC.37405.CEGL003524		29	This shrubland is a widespread association in the central and southern coastal regions of California. It is one of the classic intermixings of chaparral and coastal sage scrub in the California Mediterranean climate. It occurs on gentle to steep slopes on all aspects at low elevations between 114 and 769 m (374-2523 feet). Parent material is more often granite and less often sedimentary, metamorphic, gabbro, diorite, or metavolcanic. Soil texture includes sand, clay, various loams, silty clay loam, and silt. This shrubland is codominated by <i>Adenostoma fasciculatum</i> and <i>Salvia mellifera</i> in the shrub layer, with a typically sparse herbaceous layer. The emergent tree layer is typically non-existent.
Comm #655	Picea rubens - Acer rubrum / Ilex verticillata Forest » more details accession code: VB.CC.37502.CEGL006556		29	This mixed woodland or forested swamp occurs in higher elevation (260-1220 m) valleys, basins, floodplains, and seepage areas along streams and wetland margins in the Central Appalachians. It is a small-patch community maintained by seepage, rainfall, and occasional low-energy overflow from streams. Slopes are gentle (0-5°). The canopy is closed or occasionally open and dominated by <i>Picea rubens, Acer rubrum, Tsuga canadensis</i>, and <i>Betula alleghaniensis var. alleghaniensis</i>, with associates <i>Pinus strobus, Nyssa sylvatica</i>, and <i>Fraxinus nigra</i>. The shrub layer is variable and may include <i>Ilex verticillata, Alnus incana ssp. rugosa, Rhododendron maximum, Vaccinium angustifolium, Vaccinium corymbosum</i>, and <i>Viburnum nudum var. cassinoides</i>. The herbaceous layer is diverse and variable, typically including <i>Glyceria melicaria, Carex trisperma, Glyceria striata, Osmunda cinnamomea, Carex leptalea, Impatiens capensis, Chelone glabra</i>, and <i>Caltha palustris</i>. Well-drained hummocks may support mesophytes such as <i>Maianthemum canadense, Dryopteris intermedia</i>, and <i>Oxalis montana</i>. <i>Sphagnum</i> spp. and other mosses are abundant in the mucky hollows and blanket the irregular hummocks between braided seepage rills or streamlets.
	Liquidambar styraciflua - Quercus (nigra, phellos, pagoda) / Carpinus caroliniana / Mitchella repens Forest » more details accession code:	E. Matthews PhD Dissertation	29
Comm #656	Quercus agrifolia / Ceanothus spinosus Woodland » more details accession code: VB.CC.37412.CEGL002862		29	This association is only known from the Santa Monica Mountains region. This woodland association occurs on gentle to steep north-facing slopes at low elevations between 136 and 517 m. It is dominated by <i>Quercus agrifolia</i> in the tree layer, <i>Ceanothus spinosus</i> in the understory shrub layer, and a variety of grasses and forbs in the herbaceous layer.

Comm #658	Saxifraga michauxii - Carex misera - Oclemena acuminata - Solidago glomerata Grassland » more details accession code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:33110-{329EE9BB-4D8F-41A3-88E0-FAAA9084E305}	NatureServe Biotics 2019	29	This association covers high-elevation (greater than 1980 m) vegetated rock outcrops of highly fractured felsic to mafic bedrock of the southern Appalachian Mountains in North Carolina and Tennessee. The vegetative cover is sparse with grasses, forbs and shrubs rooted in rock fissures. Typical species in stands of this type are <i>Carex misera, Abies fraseri, Menziesia pilosa, Heuchera villosa, Rhododendron catawbiense, Saxifraga michauxii, Sorbus americana, Oclemena acuminata</i>, and <i>Solidago glomerata</i>. This community occurs in a matrix of <i>Picea rubens - Abies fraseri</i> forest. Other characteristic species are <i>Minuartia glabra</i> and <i>Polypodium appalachianum</i>.
Comm #659	Pinus palustris / Quercus laevis - Quercus geminata / Aristida stricta Woodland » more details accession code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:32462-{E87201B4-684D-4359-87CD-402FC64A7B3B}	NatureServe Biotics 2019	29	These are xeric longleaf pine sandhills, occurring mostly in the Outer Coastal Plain of North Carolina and South Carolina, but occasionally further inland (e.g., Bladen and Scotland counties, North Carolina). The canopy consists of an open (and sometimes very sparse) canopy of <i>Pinus palustris</i>. <i>Quercus laevis</i> is the predominant scrub oak, but <i>Quercus geminata, Quercus hemisphaerica</i>, and <i>Quercus incana</i> are often present and abundant. Although several characteristic coastal fringe species may be present, this type has substantially less of a broadleaf evergreen component than ~<i>Pinus palustris / Quercus geminata - Quercus hemisphaerica / Osmanthus americanus</i> Woodland (CEGL003577)$$, and a sparse to dense layer of <i>Aristida stricta</i>, depending upon tree cover.
