Name: Nyssa biflora Seasonally Flooded Woodland Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This alliance contains seasonally flooded woodlands that are dominated by Nyssa biflora. Other tree species that may be present include Persea palustris, Magnolia virginiana, and others. Because surface water persists through the growing season in most years, the shrub layer is not well-developed. The herbaceous layer contains Panicum hemitomon, Woodwardia virginica, Bacopa caroliniana, Gratiola spp., Rhynchospora spp., and Triadenum walteri. Sphagnum cuspidatum is often abundant. These woodlands occur in seasonally flooded portions of natural flatwoods ponds of the southeastern Coastal Plain.
