Name: Taxodium distichum - Nyssa biflora - (Nyssa aquatica) Saturated Forest Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Forests in this alliance occur as nonriverine swamps on extensive flats in the Coastal Plain, and also along small streams in very flat pine flatwood landscapes. Canopy dominants are some combination of Taxodium distichum, Nyssa biflora, and Nyssa aquatica. Other woody species that may occur are Taxodium ascendens, Pinus taeda, Chamaecyparis thyoides, Pinus serotina, Fraxinus profunda, Populus heterophylla, Liriodendron tulipifera, and Acer rubrum. Typical species in the moderate to dense understory include Magnolia virginiana, Persea palustris, Acer rubrum, Ilex opaca var. opaca, Cyrilla racemiflora, Lyonia lucida, Clethra alnifolia, and Smilax laurifolia. Herbaceous species include Woodwardia areolata, Woodwardia virginica, Carex spp., and Sphagnum spp. Vines are conspicuous components.
