The other kind of flatwoods

This article presently deals only with the kind of flatwoods that are dominated by pine and which occur primarily in the southeastern US. However, there appears to be another kind of flatwoods that are dominated by oak, occur on level ground underlain by a hardpan, and are found in the Midwest. At least one existing Wikipedia article, Ned Brown Forest Preserve, refers to this kind of flatwoods.

Should this article be rewritten to include both senses of the term, or should the two senses have their own (separate) articles? ZFT (talk) 17:01, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have never heard of "flatwoods" until today. I was working to link from the words "Longleaf Pine Savannah" within my writing to a Wiki page by (hopefully) the same name and instead this came up. Weirdly, there is a larger more fleshed out article by the name "Longleaf Pine Ecosystem" that is linked to the See Also here, but no explanation as to how the two term differ in any way. It seems to me that if "Flatwoods" is a legitimate free-standing term for a type of forest ecosystem and not just longleaf pine savannahs then the whole thing should be re-written with the majority of the ultra-specific information about longleaf pine savannahs moved over to the Longleaf Pine Ecosystem page. Additionally, the words "longleaf pine savannah" should redirect to that page instead of this one.

I have made the case for this in the talk page over there as well.

@ZFT as far as I'm concerned, if you would like to take on rewriting this then I think that would be a great solution. I would even be willing to help some. Though I am not sure if other/more official consensus has to arrive. Spacefatty (talk) 22:31, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
