Name: Vaccinium corymbosum - Rhododendron viscosum - Clethra alnifolia Shrubland Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: Tall-shrub swamp of seasonally flooded basins in the eastern United States. It occurs in small open basins, closed sand plain basins, and seasonally flooded zones within larger wetlands. This vegetation can occur on the margins of Coastal Plain ponds. This community is influenced by a strongly fluctuating water table with flooded conditions in spring and early summer followed by a drop in the water table below soil surface usually by late summer. There is usually a shallow organic layer often over sand. Dominant shrubs include Vaccinium corymbosum, Ilex verticillata, and Rhododendron viscosum. Scattered Acer rubrum are not uncommon. Associated shrub species may include Clethra alnifolia, Chamaedaphne calyculata, Ilex glabra, Leucothoe racemosa, Lyonia ligustrina, Decodon verticillatus, Cephalanthus occidentalis, Kalmia angustifolia, Myrica gale, and Photinia spp. (= Aronia spp.). Herbaceous species commonly include Osmunda cinnamomea, Osmunda regalis, Calla palustris, Lycopus uniflorus, Glyceria striata, and Woodwardia virginica. Sphagnum fimbriatum, Sphagnum rubellum, Sphagnum magellanicum, Sphagnum fallax, and Sphagnum viridum are characteristic.  Accession Code: VB.CC.20670.VACCINIUMCORYMB Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
