Type Concept: This association encompasses fire-suppressed pine forests of the southern terminus of the Appalachians, with little heath and a suppressed herb layer. Stands are dominated by Pinus taeda with Schizachyrium scoparium and Tephrosia virginiana. Other characteristic species include Quercus marilandica, Quercus nigra, Sorghastrum nutans, and Pityopsis graminifolia var. latifolia. It is believed that these areas formerly supported Pinus palustris-dominated communities.
