Name: Persea palustris / Morella cerifera Maritime Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This forest occurs on peaty soils only slightly above sea level, in swales and seepage-fed areas adjacent to sand dunes. The canopy is sometimes open, depending on wetness and recency of disturbance by flooding, hurricane, or storm. Persea palustris is the canopy dominant. Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera) is common in the shrub layer. The herb layer has Osmunda cinnamomea, Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis, Woodwardia virginica, and Woodwardia areolata. Sphagnum spp. are common.  Accession Code: VB.CC.19998.PERSEAPALUSTRIS Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
