Sand Pine PlantationElement Identifiers NVCS association: Pinus clausa Planted Forest Database Code: CEGL007168 Formation: Planted/cultivated temperate or subpolar needle-leaved evergreen forest Alliance: PINUS CLAUSA PLANTED FOREST ALLIANCE (I.A.8.C.x.3) Element Concept Summary: Monoculture plantations of Pinus clausa, with little or no undergrowth due to dense canopy. Abundant in Florida Panhandle. Environment: See Summary Vegetation: See Summary Dynamics: See Summary Similar Associations: No information Synonymy: No information Comments: None Conservation Ranking & Rare Species GRank: GC (00-08-08): This community represents vegetation which has been planted in its current location by humans and/or is treated with annual tillage, a modified conservation tillage, or other intensive management or manipulation. It is not a conservation priority and does not receive a conservation rank.

These are cultivated forests and are not considered natural or semi-natural vegetation. They are maintained as plantations for the harvest of forest products (lumber, pulpwood). Stands are primarily in uplands, but occasional stands in wetland environments are included here as well. This concept is also supposed to include the rare case of "exotic" stands resulting from natural regeneration out of the natural range of Pinus elliottii var. elliottii, although these are probably better accommodated as examples of Pinus elliottii var. elliottii - (Pinus palustris) Managed Forest (CEGL007171), a member of the Pinus palustris - (Pinus elliottii) Forest Alliance (A.123).

High-ranked species: No information Element Distribution Range: This planted vegetation may be found throughout the lower south, from North Carolina to Texas, in the Coastal Plain and some adjacent ecoregions.

The core concept of these stands are those which are mechanically planted to dense, often perfect rows of planted Pinus palustris or otherwise dense, young stands which are managed and maintained for the extraction of forest products. Stands are typically established with mechanical planting, but may also be established through other means. In most cases these stands support almost no other tree species in the overstory, and typically very little understory. This association rarely exceeds 20-40 years of age on most timberlands. In North and South Carolina, pinestraw is commonly harvested from these forests. This association does not include natural or near-natural Pinus palustris forests that retain some natural ground layer components and that will be managed for restoration of a natural longleaf pine community even though the Pinus palustris may have been planted.
