Another area of special note is the Longleaf Pine Habitat, a preserved remnant of the great southern longleaf pine ( " Pinus palustris " ) ecosystem that once dominated the American South.

It inhabits moist and low-nutrient longleaf pine ( " Pinus palustris " ) savannas, primarily along the United States Gulf Coast, and generally west of the Apalachicola River on the Florida Panhandle.

A Witt lecture on the poor processes used by the American Naval stores industry and the almost certain likelihood that those processes would completely destroy the Longleaf Pine ( " Pinus palustris " ) led Herty to study the naval store industry's use of those trees to produce timber and turpentine.

It may be distinguished from the related loblolly pine ( " Pinus taeda " ) by the somewhat longer, glossier needles and larger red-brown cones, and from longleaf pine ( " Pinus palustris " ) by the shorter, more slender needles and smaller cones with less broad scales.

It is common in the sand pine ( " Pinus clausa " ) pinelands of turkey oak ( " Quercus laevis " ) and longleaf pine ( " Pinus palustris " ), and is found in the slash pine ( " Pinus elliottii " ) and turkey oak habitat of the southern ridge sandhills, and in scrubby flatlands, and in coastal scrub associations.

Ten conservation targets were chosen : the riverine system, matrix forest communities ( oak hickory-pine forest ), gray bat ( " Myotis grisescens " ), riparian vegetation, mountain longleaf pine ( " Pinus palustris " ) forest communities, red-cockaded woodpecker ( " Picoides borealis " ), critically imperiled aquatic species ( fish, mussels, and snails ), southern hognose snake ( " Heterodon simus " ), caddisflies, and imperiled plants.
