Name: Polygonum spp. - Phanopyrum gymnocarpon Seasonally Flooded Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association is documented from an herbaceous slough of the Alabama River at Haines Island in Monroe County, Alabama. It is a seasonally or perhaps semipermanently flooded herbaceous marsh with some beaver activity. There are very sparse widely scattered trees of Taxodium distichum and Salix nigra, and shrubs of Cephalanthus occidentalis, Salix nigra, Acer saccharinum, and Populus deltoides. The dominant plants are all herbaceous, most dominant are Polygonum spp. and Phanopyrum gymnocarpon; near dominant taxa (in decreasing order) include Sagittaria latifolia, Glottidium vesicarium, Lycopus spp., Alternanthera philoxeroides, Mimulus sp., Saururus cernuus, Cyperus sp., Bidens sp., Boehmeria cylindrica, Triadenum walteri, Polygonum punctatum, Strophostyles helvula, Ludwigia decurrens, and Ludwigia sp. This association is expected to occur elsewhere in open bottomland sloughs in the Coastal Plain within the range of Phanopyrum gymnocarpon, from North Carolina to northern Florida, Arkansas, and southeastern Texas. This association is distinguished from others in the same alliance by the codominance of Phanopyrum gymnocarpon with Polygonum spp.
