Description: This alliance consists of pond-cypress woodlands and savannas that flood for most of the winter and generally dry down to a water level below the soil surface by late summer. These sites are found in relatively flat basins where woodland structure is favored; deeper ponds tend to have closed canopies. The canopy of ~Taxodium ascendens$ is open to scattered. Some examples will have a dense shrub layer dominated by species such as ~Zenobia pulverulenta, Vaccinium fuscatum, Vaccinium formosum, Cyrilla racemiflora$, and ~Ilex amelanchier$, while others will have little to no shrub layer. The herbaceous layer can be dense and species-rich. ~Panicum hemitomon$ and/or ~Rhynchospora$ spp. are often dominant; ~Polygala cymosa, Rhexia aristosa, Lobelia boykinii, Sagittaria$ spp., ~Lachnanthes caroliana, Panicum tenerum, Rhynchospora microcarpa, Rhynchospora tracyi, Rhynchospora$ spp., ~Woodwardia virginica$, and other species may be present. Woodlands in this alliance most often occur in clay-based Carolina bays and other seasonally flooded wetlands.
