Name: Quercus phellos / Carex (albolutescens, intumescens, joorii) - Chasmanthium laxum / Sphagnum lescurii Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This association represents upland depression swamps in the Piedmont of the Carolinas and Virginia. It also occurs in limited areas of the adjacent inner Coastal Plain of the Carolinas. Examples are usually dominated by an almost pure canopy of Quercus phellos, sometimes with codominant Quercus lyrata; scattered individuals of other tree species may be present. Shrubs are generally sparse and not particularly diagnostic of this community, although Ilex decidua may be dominant in some Virginia Piedmont occurrences. The most characteristic component of the understory are wetland sedges such as Carex albolutescens, Carex intumescens, and Carex joorii, but a number of other species may also be encountered. Sphagnum lescurii and Climacium americanum are important moss species. Sphagnum spp. and Polytrichum spp. are also found. These ponds are important amphibian breeding areas.  Accession Code: VB.CC.21532.QUERCUSPHELLOSC Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
