Habitat

In the Coastal Plain in Florida, Q. chapmanii has occurred in a scrub thicket between dunes and a sound; sand pine scrubs; island sand ridges; sand barrens; high pine scrubs; ravines along creeks; scrub oak-wiregrass sand ridges; evergreen oak scrubs; live oak hammocks; sand pine/mixed oak scrub; coastal scrubs; dune scrubs; pine flatwoods; pine-scrub oak-palmetto communities; and oak-hickory-magnolia coastal hammocks. It has been observed in disturbed habitats such as along roadsides, a sandhill scrub next to powerlines, and a stand of cleared longleaf pine that is now a thick stand of mixed oaks (FSU Herbarium). Soil types include white sand, loamy sand and sandy loam (FSU Herbarium). Associated species include Quercus myrtifolia, Q. incana, Q. laevis, Q. geminata, Q. hemisphaerica, Q. laurifolia, Q. nigra, Q. minima, Ilex glabra, Serenoa repens, Sabal minor, Pinus clausa, Carya, and Vitis rotundifolia (FSU Herbarium).
