Name: Salix caroliniana Seasonally Flooded Forest Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Seasonally flooded forests dominated or codominated by Salix caroliniana. Some examples may be shorter than 5 m, especially when young or successional following fire or other disturbance, but all classed here for now. Both subtropical and warm temperate communities are placed here. One (subtropical) association is a dense thicket dominated by Salix caroliniana, 2-7 m tall, occurring in seasonal ponds, alligator holes, and other depressions in southern Florida. Cephalanthus occidentalis and Annona glabra are often present as well. Herbaceous species include Bacopa caroliniana, Blechnum serrulatum, Cladium mariscus ssp. jamaicense, Crinum americanum, Eleocharis cellulosa, Ludwigia peruviana, Ludwigia repens, Pontederia cordata (= Pontederia cordata var. lancifolia), Proserpinaca palustris, and Sagittaria spp. Another association occurs in peaty depressional wetlands in northern peninsular Florida. Salix caroliniana is the monodominant small tree. Associated species are Decodon verticillatus, Typha latifolia, Boehmeria cylindrica, Saccharum giganteum, and Hydrocotyle spp.
