Name: Taxodium ascendens Seasonally Flooded Woodland Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This alliance consists of pond-cypress woodlands and savannas that flood for most of the winter and generally dry down to a water level below the soil surface by late summer. These sites are found in relatively flat basins where woodland structure is favored; deeper ponds tend to have closed canopies. The canopy of Taxodium ascendens is open to scattered. Some examples will have a dense shrub layer dominated by species such as Zenobia pulverulenta, Vaccinium fuscatum, Vaccinium formosum, Cyrilla racemiflora, and Ilex amelanchier, while others will have little to no shrub layer. The herbaceous layer can be dense and species-rich. Panicum hemitomon and/or Rhynchospora spp. are often dominant; Polygala cymosa, Rhexia aristosa, Lobelia boykinii, Sagittaria spp., Lachnanthes caroliana, Panicum tenerum, Rhynchospora microcarpa, Rhynchospora tracyi, Rhynchospora spp., Woodwardia virginica, and other species may be present. Woodlands in this alliance most often occur in clay-based Carolina bays and other seasonally flooded wetlands.  Accession Code: VB.CC.19731.TAXODIUMASCENDE Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
