Name: Nyssa aquatica Tidal Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Tidal swamp forests of the East Gulf Coastal Plain and probably the Florida Peninsula and South Atlantic Coastal Plain ecoregions. Examples of this association are dominated by Nyssa aquatica and are influenced by tidal and seasonal alluvial flooding. The habitat stays saturated to flooded throughout the year. Characteristic canopy trees are Nyssa aquatica, Taxodium distichum, Acer rubrum var. trilobum, Fraxinus profunda, and to a lesser extent Liquidambar styraciflua and Nyssa biflora. Subcanopy trees include the same species as mentioned for the canopy, along with Fraxinus caroliniana. Common shrubs include Itea virginica, Sabal minor, Ilex verticillata, Fraxinus caroliniana, and Sambucus canadensis. Herbaceous species include Phanopyrum gymnocarpon, Crinum americanum, Peltandra virginica, Saururus cernuus, Justicia ovata, Hydrocotyle spp., Dulichium arundinaceum, Orontium aquaticum, Onoclea sensibilis, and Leersia lenticularis. Woody vines include Smilax walteri, Smilax laurifolia, Berchemia scandens, Gelsemium rankinii, and Clematis virginiana. Epiphytes include Tillandsia usneoides, along with Tillandsia recurvata and Tillandsia bartramii in examples of Tidal Water Tupelo Swamp Forest in the Florida Peninsula and southeastern Georgia.
