Name: Chamaecyparis thyoides Saturated Woodland Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This alliance includes stream woodlands with a scattered to open canopy of Chamaecyparis thyoides, both Florida Panhandle and Alabama 'seepage stream' or 'streamside baygall' examples, as well as other types located at the mouths of rivers whose hydrology is influenced by 'tidal damming.' Seepage stream examples have a dense shrub layer of Cyrilla racemiflora and other evergreen shrubs, such as Cliftonia monophylla, Lyonia lucida, Ilex coriacea, and Ilex glabra. One of the saturated/tidally dammed types reportedly contains Chamaecyparis thyoides, with Pinus elliottii var. elliottii and Acer rubrum over an herbaceous layer of Cladium mariscus ssp. jamaicense. Some examples included here may have stunted trees with canopy closures less than 25% and could be classified as 'grasslands with a sparse tree layer.' The seepage streamside habitats of the Panhandle are normally linear, from 30-100 m wide, and extend along streams in saturated, highly acid, coarse-sandy situations. This alliance also includes Atlantic white-cedar bogs in New England.  Accession Code: VB.CC.21985.CHAMAECYPARISTH Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
