Pine rocklands are unique to southern Florida and the |
Bahamas. In Florida they are found on limestone |
substrates on the Miami Rock Ridge, in the Florida |
Keys, and in the Big Cypress Swamp. Pine rocklands are |
dominated by a single canopy tree, South Florida slash pine |
(Pinus elliottii var. densa), a diverse hardwood and palm |
subcanopy, and a very rich herbaceous layer. The flora of pine |
rocklands is composed of a diverse assemblage of tropical |
and temperate taxa. Many endemic plant taxa are also found |
in this community. It is a fire maintained community, |
requiring periodic fires to eliminate invading hardwoods, |
assist in nutrient cycling, and to reduce duff layers. Pine |
rocklands also provide critical foraging and nesting habitat |
for a diverse array of wildlife, including five federally listed |
animal species. While significant areas of pine rocklands are |
now protected within preserves such as Everglades NP, Big |
Cypress National Preserve, and the National Key Deer |
Refuge, pine rockland fragments are still threatened on the |
Miami Rock Ridge and in the Florida Keys. Pine rocklands |
have been heavily impacted by outright destruction, |
conversion to agriculture, fire suppression, exotic plant and |
animal invasions, collecting pressure on plants and animals, |
and alterations to hydrology. Significant work has now been |
initiated to control exotic plant taxa in pine rocklands, |
although much research needs to be conducted on restoring |
heavily degraded sites. |
Synonymy |
The following terms have been applied in whole or in part to |
plant communities of South Florida which are included in this |
account of pine rockland: 414-other coniferous forest |
(Florida Department of Administration 1976); South Florida |
flatwoods (Soil and Water Conservation Service 1989); pine |
forest (Duever et al. 1979); southern slash pine forest (Ward |
1979); rockland pine forest (Davis 1943); pineland (Correll |
and Correll 1982). The FLUCCS code for the pine rocklands |
community includes: 411 (pine flatwoods), and 434 |
(hardwood/conifer mixed) (during regeneration). |

Distribution |
Pine rocklands are found in southern Florida, the Bahamas, and Cuba. In Florida, |
they were historically found on limestone substrates in Miami-Dade County |
along the Miami Rock Ridge from approximately North Miami Beach south and |
west to Long Pine Key in what is now Everglades NP. Pine rocklands in the |
Florida Keys are now restricted to the Lower Keys. Significant tracts of pine |
rocklands occur on Big Pine Key, No Name Key, Little Pine Key, Cudjoe Key, |
and Upper Sugarloaf Key in Monroe County. They also occcur in the Big |
Cypress National Preserve in Collier County. Alexander (1953) has shown that a |
small area of pine rockland once existed in the Upper Keys on Key Largo, but |
has since undergone succession to rockland hammock. Some pinelands in areas |
of limestone outcropping in Broward County may also be referable to this |
community. The largest remaining contiguous areas of pine rockland are found |
