Tsuga caroliniana - Pinus (rigida, pungens, virginiana) Forest

This xeric forest community is dominated by a mixture of Tsuga caroliniana and any or all of the following pine species: Pinus rigida, Pinus virginiana, and/or Pinus pungens. Additional canopy species may include Quercus prinus, Quercus rubra, and Carya glabra. This association is known from shallow soils over sedimentary and metasedimentary rock strata on exposed ridges and southwest-facing slopes above 2000 feet in the Southern Blue Ridge and upper Piedmont of North Carolina and Tennessee. The structure of the canopy varies from closed to open depending on disturbance history and environment. The patchy to open shrub layer of Tennessee occurrences is characterized by Buckleya distichophylla and Rhododendron minus in the upper shrub layer, and Vaccinium pallidum and Gaultheria procumbens in the lower shrub layer. The patchy to open herbaceous layer is characterized by Schizachyrium scoparium. As much as 25% of the ground cover may contain lichens, including Cladina rangiferina and Cladina subtenuis. |

This broadly defined association accommodates tidally flooded forests in lower, estuarine reaches of brownwater and blackwater rivers in the Outer Coastal Plain (tidewater), and also along estuarine shores. It may require subdivision as more information becomes available. Flooding of these environments can be either lunar-tidal or wind-tidal, and can be affected as well by riverine flooding events. The trees often have a stressed appearance, and the herbaceous layer usually is well-developed and more species-rich than in most non-tidal swamps, possibly as a result of the tidal nutrient input. Various combinations of <i>Nyssa biflora, Taxodium distichum</i>, and <i>Nyssa aquatica</i> usually dominate the canopy. In addition, <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i> may be present. On blackwater rivers, <i>Nyssa aquatica</i> is often an indicator of tidal condition, presumably because it requires the higher nutrients provided by tidal flooding. Other species common in tidal situations, such as <i>Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera), Lilaeopsis carolinensis, Peltandra virginica, Thelypteris palustris var. pubescens, Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis</i>, and <i>Rosa palustris</i>, are often common. Typical species of non-tidal swamps, such as <i>Quercus lyrata, Carya aquatica, Quercus phellos, Smilax laurifolia, Ilex glabra, Lyonia lucida, Woodwardia virginica, Sphagnum</i> spp., <i>Chamaecyparis thyoides, Cyrilla racemiflora</i>, and others, are absent. |

This community is known from Broxton Rocks in south-central Georgia (Coffee County); it is a characteristic community of the Altamaha Grit, associated with sandstone outcrops. In addition to the nominal species, characteristic species of this association are <i>Andropogon ternarius, Sericocarpus tortifolius (= Aster tortifolius), Eryngium yuccifolium, Gelsemium sempervirens, Penstemon dissectus, Pteridium aquilinum var. pseudocaudatum, Schizachyrium scoparium, Smilax glauca, Tephrosia virginiana, Vaccinium elliottii, Vaccinium arboreum, Vaccinium stamineum</i>, and <i>Yucca filamentosa</i>. |

This is a poorly understood and documented hardwood association found in the outer portions of the East Gulf Coastal Plain. It is best known in Florida where examples are dominated by <i>Quercus nigra, Magnolia grandiflora, Carya glabra</i>, and <i>Quercus hemisphaerica</i>, with<i> Quercus hemisphaerica </i>usually dominant (A. Johnson pers. comm.), but is also found rarely in Mississippi (R. Wieland pers. comm.) and possibly in Alabama (A. Schotz pers. comm.). Related hardwood forests or hammocks of the region with <i>Quercus geminata</i> are covered by another association. This community occurs on dry upper slopes with reduced fire frequencies. More information is needed on the floristic composition of this type. |
