The critical environmental factors controlling this 

 community are basically the same as those of the previous two 

 communities, namely, high salinity, drought conditions, and low 

 nutrient availability. However, this community has much less 

 severe conditions than the previous communities discussed. 



Pine Flatwoods 



In the northern portion of the Atlantic Coastal Plain 

 loblolly pine Pinus taeda , and pitch pine Pinus rigida become the 

 dominants of the coastal flatwoods. Loblolly pine is particularly 

 important in Virginia while pitch pine dominates in Maryland. The 

 pine flatwoods are generally rather open with an incomplete canopy 

 but often have a diverse shrub and herb zone. 



Typical animals include: 



Eastern spadefoot Scaphiopus holbrooki 



Pine woods tree frog Hyla femoralis 



Green tree frog Hyla cinerea 



Box turtle Terrapene Carolina 



Fence lizard Sceloporus undulatus
