Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: Seasonally flooded forests dominated or codominated by ~Salix caroliniana$. Some examples may be shorter than 5 m, especially when young or successional following fire or other disturbance, but all classed here for now. Both subtropical and warm temperate communities are placed here. One (subtropical) association is a dense thicket dominated by ~Salix caroliniana$, 2-7 m tall, occurring in seasonal ponds, alligator holes, and other depressions in southern Florida. ~Cephalanthus occidentalis$ and ~Annona glabra$ are often present as well. Herbaceous species include ~Bacopa caroliniana, Blechnum serrulatum, Cladium mariscus ssp. jamaicense, Crinum americanum, Eleocharis cellulosa, Ludwigia peruviana, Ludwigia repens, Pontederia cordata (= Pontederia cordata var. lancifolia), Proserpinaca palustris$, and ~Sagittaria$ spp. Another association occurs in peaty depressional wetlands in northern peninsular Florida. ~Salix caroliniana$ is the monodominant small tree. Associated species are ~Decodon verticillatus, Typha latifolia, Boehmeria cylindrica, Saccharum giganteum$, and ~Hydrocotyle$ spp.
