Type Concept: This saturated longleaf pine - loblolly pine - pond pine woodland occupies wet-mesic savannas on loamy soils in the middle Coastal Plain of southeastern North Carolina. It is now almost extinct owing to conversion to agriculture, drainage, and fire suppression. The pine-dominated open canopy of stands includes Pinus palustris, Pinus taeda, and Pinus serotina. The subcanopy contains Quercus marilandica and Quercus pumila. Aristida stricta is a characteristic or dominant component of the herbaceous stratum.
