Name: Nyssa (aquatica, biflora, ogeche) Floodplain Seasonally Flooded Forest Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This alliance includes forests dominated by some combination of Nyssa aquatica, Nyssa biflora, or Nyssa ogeche without substantial Taxodium distichum, that occur in seasonally flooded floodplains, sloughs, and backswamps. Acer rubrum var. rubrum, Quercus laurifolia, Quercus lyrata, Ulmus americana, and Liquidambar styraciflua are characteristic canopy species. The canopy layer in these forests often is dense, but strata below are sparse to very sparse. Fraxinus caroliniana, Itea virginica, and Sebastiania fruticosa are common understory species. Common herbaceous species of forests in this alliance include Carex gigantea, Phanopyrum gymnocarpon (= Panicum gymnocarpon), Pluchea sp., Carex bromoides, Rhynchospora corniculata, Leersia lenticularis, Proserpinaca pectinata, and Pleopeltis polypodioides.  Accession Code: VB.CC.18227.NYSSAAQUATICABI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
