Name: Taxodium ascendens / Annona glabra - Cephalanthus occidentalis - Morella cerifera - Salix caroliniana Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association represents cypress strands of the south Florida Everglades region, where they are apparently somewhat uncommon communities. These Taxodium ascendens-dominated communities occur in linear bands which follow a north-south gradient. Soil composition is generally organic including various peaty marls, peats, or even mucks. Hydroperiod ranges from 4-10 months. Overstory density ranges from quite open to approximately 80% canopy closure. Epiphytes (bromeliads, orchids, ferns) may be abundant, including Thelypteris reticulata and Campyloneurum latum, along with a diverse understory that includes a number of taxa with tropical affinities.
