Name: Nyssa biflora - Liquidambar styraciflua - Acer rubrum var. trilobum / Clethra alnifolia Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: In this nonriverine swamp forest, Liquidambar styraciflua, Nyssa biflora, and Acer rubrum var. trilobum are the constant and dominant species, with lesser amounts (and lower constancy) of Ulmus rubra, Ulmus americana, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Nyssa aquatica, Populus heterophylla, Quercus laurifolia, Quercus pagoda, Quercus shumardii, Quercus lyrata, Taxodium distichum, and Taxodium ascendens. Subcanopy species can include Ilex opaca, Fraxinus caroliniana, and Magnolia virginiana. Clethra alnifolia is the characteristic shrub species, and often grows densely. Typical herbs (none with high cover) are Carex gigantea, Carex louisianica, Lobelia inflata, and Saururus cernuus. This association occurs at Roquist Pocosin, near the mouth of the Roanoke River, and in other wet nonriverine flats. the species composition suggests a higher nutrient status than some other nonriverine swamp associations.
