Name: Chamaecyparis thyoides - Acer rubrum Seasonally Flooded Forest Alliance
Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This alliance is a mixed canopy of Chamaecyparis thyoides and hardwoods that always include Acer rubrum, as well as others such as Betula alleghaniensis in the northern portion of the range, and Diospyros virginiana, Nyssa sylvatica in more southerly occurrences. The shrub layer is characterized by Vaccinium corymbosum, Clethra alnifolia, Rhododendron viscosum, as well as Ilex verticillata in the north and Magnolia virginiana, Leucothoe racemosa in the south. The herbaceous layer is generally more diverse and contains species indicative of higher nutrient levels than in other Atlantic white-cedar vegetation, including Symplocarpus foetidus, Triadenum virginicum, Bidens spp., Cornus amomum, Spiraea spp., Iris versicolor, Arisaema triphyllum, Carex intumescens, Sagittaria latifolia, Sparganium spp., and others. This vegetation occurs along water courses or in other basins influenced by surface water input in the spring.
