Name: Cornus foemina Seasonally Flooded Forest Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Seasonally flooded wetlands dominated by Cornus foemina (= Cornus stricta). There currently is one very rare association known only from the Outer Banks of North Carolina; it occurs in peaty soil in old interdune swales. It is dominated by a canopy of Cornus foemina, with much lesser amounts of Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera), Persea borbonia, and Vaccinium stamineum, generally with dense thickets of Berchemia scandens, Ampelopsis arborea, Smilax bona-nox, Smilax laurifolia, and Smilax rotundifolia. A sparse, emergent supercanopy of Pinus taeda is often present.
