Name: Taxodium ascendens / Annona glabra / Bacopa caroliniana Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Dome-shaped Taxodium ascendens communities, generally with abundant epiphytes. Traditionally separated from cypress strands by their round rather than linear shape, and by hydrologic differences, i.e. little flow; and with floristic differences as well. Cypress domes tend to have longer hydroperiods (8-12 months) and denser canopies than cypress strands. This community is associated with bedrock depressions; the larger trees in the center are in deeper water, but deeper soil as well, and their greater size is more due to the greater productivity of the site than to greater age, though damaging fires enter domes from adjacent prairie vegetation and are more likely to kill or damage the less flooded, smaller, peripheral trees.
