Flatwoods

Flatwoods refers to an ecological community in the Southeastern coastal plain of North America. Flatwoods are a fire maintained ecosystem dominated by

A number of rare animals are typical of this habitat including
* Red-cockaded Woodpecker ("Picoides borealis"),

* Striped newts ("Notophthalmus perstriatus").
