Characteristics of a "pine rockland"???? help!?
Protected inside the Everglades National Park. The pine rockland is dominated by slash pines. It is composed of grasses, sedges, palms, vines, and shrubs of temperate and tropical origin. The pine rockland community is South Florida’s most floristically diverse plant community and includes several endemic species. A subclimatic community, pine rocklands have depended on fire to keep them from transitioning into hardwood hammocks.
Reply:Well, off the top of my head, I'm envisioning an area that is so rocky, not much grows there besides pine trees.
