Name: Annona glabra Semipermanently Flooded Forest Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This alliance consists of swamps and sinkhole ponds, freshwater or very slightly brackish depression or swale wetlands dominated (or codominated) by Annona glabra, sometimes with some mangrove as well, and typically with numerous species of epiphytes (especially orchids and bromeliads, such as Tillandsia spp.). Physiognomy is variable, varying from dense canopies to open canopies, depending on hydrology and disturbance. Forests of this alliance sometimes approach shrubland in height (less than 5 m) but all are classed here. In southern Florida, temperate floristic components are often present, including such species as Salix caroliniana and Sambucus canadensis (= Sambucus simpsonii). The herbaceous layer is often well-developed and dominated by graminoids, such as Cladium mariscus ssp. jamaicense (= Cladium jamaicense). This alliance is widespread in the Bahamas and West Indies, and is likely to occur in tropical southern Florida.  Accession Code: VB.CC.18229.ANNONAGLABRASEM Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
