Name: Fraxinus caroliniana Seasonally Flooded Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This wetland depression of the West Gulf Coastal Plain is typified by a nearly monospecific, dense stand of Fraxinus caroliniana; most individuals have swollen bases. Relative to surrounding vegetation, this woody vegetation has much lower stature and smaller diameter, thus appearing almost shrub-like. This forest is found in topographic depressions on fairly broad Pleistocene terrace flatwoods. Species diversity is quite low. A rooted herbaceous layer may be absent to sparse, and floating aquatics may or may not be present.
