CEGL004495 Pinus palustris / Arundinaria tecta - Liquidambar styraciflua / Andropogon glomeratus - Sarracenia minor Woodland
Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Longleaf Pine / Switch Cane - Sweetgum / Bushy Bluestem - Hooded Pitcherplant Woodland
Colloquial Name: Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain Wet Silty Longleaf Pine Savanna
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This saturated longleaf pine woodland association is restricted to South Carolina. The open canopy of this association is dominated by Pinus palustris. The woody understory may contain Arundinaria tecta and Liquidambar styraciflua. Some characteristic herbs include Andropogon glomeratus and Sarracenia minor. This is found on finer-textured soils. A higher cover of Liquidambar styraciflua may indicate a longer fire-return interval. More detailed information to be added from North Carolina Vegetation Survey plot data.
