Name: Nyssa biflora - Taxodium ascendens Semipermanently Flooded Woodland Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Woodlands in this alliance are dominated by Nyssa biflora and Taxodium ascendens and occur along lake margins, in depressions, and in other areas where surface water persists throughout the growing season in most years. Taxodium ascendens is more common in the wettest areas, while Nyssa biflora is dominant where water is less deep. The herbaceous species in at least one association occur as a 'flotant,' with species on a fibrous root mat dominated by Ludwigia pilosa and Bacopa caroliniana. Other typical species include Carex decomposita, Saururus cernuus, Xyris smalliana, Xyris fimbriata, Lachnanthes caroliana, Triadenum walteri, Pluchea rosea, Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis, Woodwardia areolata, Andropogon glomeratus var. hirsutior, Andropogon glaucopsis, Cyrilla racemiflora, and Ptilimnium sp. This alliance is known from the East Gulf Coastal Plain of Louisiana and Mississippi.
