	Sand pine
		Sand pine is also called scrub pine and in many older books, it is referred to as spruce pine, although it should not be confused with Pinus glabra, which is the more commonly known spruce pine.
		The wood of sand pine is of limited commercial value, due to the small size and twisted form of the tree; however, it is sometimes used as pulpwood or fuel.
		Sand pine is generally described as a small to medium evergreen tree that grows to about 25' tall, with a conical crown and numerous persistent cones.

	Pinus clausa
		clausa = Ocala sand pine (serotinous cones) Pinus clausa var.
		On the peninsula, sand pine occurs from Tampa to Naples on the Gulf Coast and from St. Augustine to Fort Lauderdale on the Atlantic Coast.
		Sand pine scrub vegetation, in which sand pine grows in very dense, even-aged stands of 8,000 to 10,000 trees per acre (20,000-25,000/ha), is considered a fire-climax community [9].

	Nearctica - Native Conifers of North America - Sand Pine (Pinus clausa)
		The needles of these other pine species are at least 6 inches long versus the 2 to 3.5 inch long needles of Sand Pine.
		Native Range: Sand Pine is one of the minor southern pines with a natural range limited almost entirely to Florida.
		The largest Sand Pine concentration is a block of the Ocala variety covering about 101 170 ha (250,000 acres) in north-central Florida, an area often referred to as the "Big Scrub." This variety of Sand Pine also grows in a narrow strip along the east coast of Florida from St. Augustine southward to Fort Lauderdale.

		Oak scrub, rosemary scrub, palmetto scrub, sand pine scrub and, in some cases, coastal scrub and scrubby flatwoods are all used to describe different variations of this habitat.
		Sand pine may occur in dense stands, as scatteredindividuals, or may be absent altogether; sometimes it is replaced by slash pine (Pinus elliottii; Myers 1990).
		This race of sand pine prevails in areas that are subject to fire and tends to grow in even-aged stands.

	Sand Pine Range and Habitat
		The largest sand pine concentration is a block of the Ocala variety covering about 101 170 ha (250,000 acres) in north-central Florida, and area often referred to as the "Big Scrub." This variety of sand pine also grows in a narrow strip along the east coast of Florida from St. Augustine southward to Fort Lauderdale.
		Even-aged Ocala sand pine dominates the overstory, while the understory is composed almost entirely of evergreen shrubs 1.8 to 3.0 m (6 to 10 ft) tall.
		Sand pine grows and persists in very dense stands of approximately 20,000 to 25,000 trees per hectare (8,000 to 10,000/acre).

		Sand pines of all age classes are not fire tolerant, and are killed outright by these fires.
		Any large oaks present within the sand pine scrub community will be topkilled by the intense fires as well, allowing for the sand pines to reestablish their dominance in the tree layer.
		In the absence of fire mature sand pines may develop heart rot and die, and healthy sand pine cones may not be stimulated enough by the latent heat to release their seeds.

	1Introduction
		Community structure is characterized by an open, sparse canopy of pine, an open understory dominated by scrubby oaks (which are often stunted and gnarled) and a herbaceous ground layer consisting of various grasses and forbs (Myers 1990).
		In eastern Texas, longleaf pine, shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata), and loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) are codominants.
		On the western coastal plain, the drier longleaf pine woodlands have a sparse herbaceous layer, abundant lichens, and exposed sand.

	Sand Pine
		The population of Sand Pines increase extensively following fires, due to the seeds possessing a special protective coating that enables them to retain their vitality.
		The needles of the Sand Pine are found in groups of twos and are approximately three-inches long.

	Pinus palustris Mill
		Annual mean temperatures range from 16° to 23° C (60° to 74° F) and annual precipitation from 1090 to 1750 mm (43 to 69 in), the least being 1090 to 1270 mm (43 to 50 in) in the Carolinas and Texas and the greatest along the Gulf Coast of Alabama, Mississippi, and extreme west Florida.
		One longleaf pine plantation on a prepared site had nearly 60 percent of the trees in active height growth by the end of the second growing season, and over 90 percent by the end of the third.
		The critical element in the growth of longleaf pine stands is the duration of the grass stage.

	Perdido Key: Pine Barrens \| Film North Florida
		The pine barrens is an area off Semmes Road that adjoins the gulf-side dunes.
		It is not near a development nor is it part of a park so it is a undisturbed example of a sand pine scrub forest which is an exceedingly dry, sandy community with a rather sparse understory of shrubby, evergreen oaks and an overstory of its namesake, sand pine.
		The sand pine forest is located on the sound side of the key on older dunes.

	Floridata: Endangered Plants of the Florida Scrub
		The only real tree in Florida scrub, sand pine is uniquely adapted to live in a plant community that depends on periodic fire for its continued existence.
		The cones of sand pine remain on the tree and do not open until the tree actually burns to death.
		But if it doesn't rain when the tiny sand pine seedlings are getting started, most will die and the survivors will be scattered in a true scrub with other scrub plants.

		Once in the sand pine scrub, these fires moved rapidly and were extremely difficult to extinguish as evidenced by the 1935 wildfire that burned 14,000 hectares (34,594 ac.) of the Ocala National Forest in just 4 hours.
		Sand pine stands that are 65 years of age or older on the Ocala National Forest have a high incidence of trees infected with red heart fungus.
		Sand pine deteriorates much faster after it is killed or damaged than other southern pines therefore it retains its’ merchantability for a shorter period of time (5 to 6 months compared to 9 to 10 months typical with other pine species).

	Pine barrens at AllExperts
		Pine barrens, also known as "pine plains", "sand plains", "pinelands", "pine bush", and "pitch pine-scrub oak barrens", occur throughout the northeastern U.S. from New Jersey to Maine (see Atlantic coastal pine barrens) as well as the Midwest and Canada.
		Pine barrens are plant communities that occur on dry, acidic, infertile soils dominated by grasses, forbs, low shrubs, and scattered trees; most extensive barrens occur in large areas of sandy glacial deposits, including outwash plains, lakebeds, and outwash terraces along rivers.
		Pine barrens support a number of rare species, including lepidoptera such as the Karner Blue butterfly (Lycaeides melissa samuelis) and the barrens buckmoth (Hemileuca maia), and plants such as the Sand-plain Gerardia (Agalinis acuta).
