Floristics: These woodlands have semi-open to very open canopies composed of Pinus taeda, with or without Pinus echinata.
Dynamics: This association may occur both within or outside of the natural range of Pinus palustris. In the former case, it is present where Pinus palustris has failed to regenerate. The structure and composition of this community are maintained by fires set by military training; the relationship of this vegetation to naturally occurring vegetation is not completely clear.
Environmental Description: No Data Available
Geographic Range: This woodland results from dominance of Pinus taeda on sites formerly occupied by Pinus palustris. It is known from the coastal plains of Georgia and probably adjacent Alabama.
