restrial community in Pamlico County of which signifi- 

 cant examples remain. This community is closely associ- 

 ated with the pine flatwoods described above, being 

 physically intermingled and an. ecologically very 

 similar fire-maintained vegetation type. 



Upland Serai Pine and Hardwoods - extensive areas of this 

 second-growth type are found on better-drained sites 

 in the western section of Pamlico County, where the 

 original vegetation was probably a combination of 

 hardwoods and/or longleaf pine. As with the wetlands 

 successional assemblage discussed above, size and age 

 of the canopy vegetation is variable , and disturbance 

 often repeated. 



Other land use types in Pamlico County include pine plantations, 

 agricultural fields, abandoned fields and habitations, a state 

 game land, urban areas, and extensive brackish marsh impoundments.
