Habitat	The Sandhills Region consists of a variety of plant communities both wet and dry. Wetlands range from small springs and seeps to swamp forests. Streamhead pocosins (boggy shrub-dominated areas along streams) are particularly abundant in the Sandhills. Upland areas are generally dominated by the longleaf pine (Pinus palustris)community type. Other pine species that are dominant and/or canopy associates with longleaf pine include loblolly pine (P. taeda), slash pine (P. elliotii), and pond pine (P. serotina). In relatively undisturbed areas, the dominant ground cover is wiregrass (Aristida stricta), a clump-forming grass that has narrow blades and an extensive root system to help it survive periods of drought. Understory vegetation consists of turkey oak (Quercus laevis) on dry sites and other oaks on less dry sites.
