Name: A.326
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: These forests, dominated by ~Planera aquatica$, are found along southern Coastal Plain rivers and in backswamps. These short-statured forests sometimes have a scattered emergent canopy of ~Taxodium ascendens, Taxodium distichum, Nyssa biflora, Populus heterophylla, Acer negundo, Fraxinus caroliniana, Liquidambar styraciflua, Platanus occidentalis, Carya aquatica$, and ~Fraxinus pennsylvanica$, among others. At least some occurrences arise in backswamps and sloughs formerly dominated by the species listed above that, due to rapid siltation, experience severe hydrologic modification that results in shifts in dominance. The herbaceous layer in these forests is sparse and can include ~Saururus cernuus, Boehmeria cylindrica, Berchemia scandens, Vitis rotundifolia$, and others.
