CEGL004957 Pinus palustris / Quercus incana / Sporobolus clandestinus Woodland
Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Longleaf Pine / Bluejack Oak / Rough Dropseed Woodland
Colloquial Name: Eastern Louisiana Xeric Longleaf Pine Woodland
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This xeric Pinus palustris association occurs in the Florida parishes of eastern Louisiana and may range into adjacent areas of southern Mississippi. This area represents a western attenuation of East Gulf Coastal Plain longleaf pine sandhills, beyond the natural range of a number of taxa distributed farther eastward. In addition, sites in this region tend to have siltier, less coarse-textured soils than are typically found in Florida (Peet and Allard 1990). Stands of this type are dominated by an open canopy of Pinus palustris. A subcanopy containing Quercus incana indicates the presence of finer-textured, siltier soils. Sporobolus clandestinus is a typical herbaceous component. Other characteristic species include Schizachyrium scoparium, Commelina erecta, Gaylussacia dumosa, Ilex ambigua, Pityopsis graminifolia, Vaccinium arboreum, and Zornia bracteata.
