Name: Scirpus cyperinus - Dulichium arundinaceum / Sphagnum spp. Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This community includes emergent zones in upland depression ponds of the mountains of North Carolina and adjacent states, where water is ponded by an impermeable substrate. It includes a variety of shrub- and herb-dominated upland wetlands with very different substrates. Herbaceous vegetation occurs in monospecific clumps, with Sphagnum mats, and scattered shrubs and trees around the margins. Typical dominants are Scirpus cyperinus, Dulichium arundinaceum, Juncus effusus var. solutus, and Juncus canadensis. Other species include Bartonia virginica, Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis, Sphagnum lescurii, Sphagnum pylaesii, Sphagnum cuspidatum, Sphagnum palustre, and Sphagnum recurvum. Sparsely distributed trees may include Nyssa sylvatica, Quercus phellos, Acer rubrum, and Liquidambar styraciflua. Shrubs include Cephalanthus occidentalis, Vaccinium spp., and Leucothoe racemosa. This community has a pronounced seasonal fluctuation in water level, filling in the winter and often drying completely in the summer. It is extremely rare, known only from very few scattered sites in Burke and Buncombe counties, North Carolina.  Accession Code: VB.CC.22614.SCIRPUSCYPERINU Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
