Name: Nyssa aquatica - Nyssa biflora Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This forest, dominated by Nyssa aquatica and Nyssa biflora in varying proportions, is found along shallow borders of alluvial swamps and flats near uplands. It is a Zone II community. The range has not been completely assessed; it is theoretically possible on the Atlantic Coastal Plain from southeastern Virginia to southern Georgia, the Gulf Coastal Plain from about Tallahassee west to southeastern Texas, and the Mississippi Alluvial Plain to southern Arkansas and western Tennessee. Taxodium distichum may occur in the canopy of this community, but is not a dominant (usually less than 25% cover). Other tree canopy/subcanopy species are Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Salix nigra, Populus heterophylla, and Carpinus caroliniana. Other shrub and herbaceous species are Leucothoe racemosa, Cyrilla racemiflora, Planera aquatica, and Saururus cernuus. Decumaria barbara, Toxicodendron radicans, Ampelopsis arborea, and Bignonia capreolata are commonly occurring vines, but have less than 10% cover.
