Name: Nyssa biflora - Liriodendron tulipifera - Pinus (serotina, taeda) / Lyonia lucida - Ilex glabra Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This streamhead swamp forest type includes very wet forests along mucky small streams in sandy terrain, which are dominated by combinations of Nyssa biflora, Acer rubrum var. rubrum, and Liriodendron tulipifera and have undergrowth of pocosin species. Pines (Pinus serotina, Pinus taeda) are usually present but do not dominate. In the Francis Marion National Forest, South Carolina, the understory is dominated by Acer rubrum and Persea palustris. Prominent shrubs include Ilex glabra, Lyonia lucida, Clethra alnifolia, and Morella caroliniensis. Smilax laurifolia is a prominent vine. The herb layer is dominated by Osmunda cinnamomea and Carex elliottii. Though flooded occasionally by stream water, stands are also kept saturated by seepage input.
