Name: Cephalanthus occidentalis / Dulichium arundinaceum Shrubland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community occurs in semipermanently flooded depression ponds developed by solution and collapse of carbonate rocks underlying acidic colluvial materials deposited on the eastern edge of the Great Valley of Virginia, in Augusta, Rockingham, and southern Page counties, Virginia. This community occurs in semipermanently flooded ponds, with organic soils, which retain surface water continuously in most years. Cephalanthus occidentalis occurs in variable amounts, sometimes being limited to marginal zones. Dulichium arundinaceum is usually abundant. Several other forbs and graminoids, including Carex aquatilis, Glyceria acutiflora, Glyceria obtusa, Nuphar lutea ssp. advena, Scirpus ancistrochaetus, Schoenoplectus torreyi (= Scirpus torreyi), and Carex vesicaria are locally prominent. This association is known from ponds on the summit of the Blue Ridge, and also appears to be the major type of ridge crest ponds in the Ridge and Valley province.
