Name: Chamaecyparis thyoides - Pinus elliottii var. elliottii / Nyssa biflora - Acer rubrum var. trilobum / Serenoa repens Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This forest is dominated by a mixed Chamaecyparis thyoides - Pinus elliottii var. elliottii canopy which typically ranges between 65 and 80% cover. A subcanopy of Nyssa biflora and Acer rubrum var. trilobum is present. Sabal palmetto and Serenoa repens are abundant on hummocks. This community occurs in large, constantly saturated basins or poorly drained flats which are inundated under several feet of water during the high precipitation/low evapotranspiration period of spring. The sandy subsoil is overtopped by thick peat and muck. Fire is an infrequent event.
