Name: Spartina bakeri - Woodwardia virginica - Saccharum giganteum Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Seasonally flooded wetlands dominated by Spartina bakeri, or at least with substantial cover of it. Circular ponds in which Spartina bakeri is typically the dominant species are found on marsh islands of the South Atlantic Coastal Plain of South Carolina. Herbaceous dominants also include Woodwardia virginica, Hibiscus moscheutos, Juncus effusus, and Saccharum giganteum. Additional herbaceous species may include Panicum virgatum, Cyperus odoratus, and Juncus roemerianus. Scattered trees and shrubs also occur, including Liquidambar styraciflua, Acer rubrum, Pinus taeda, Pinus serotina, Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera), Salix nigra, Diospyros virginiana, Cephalanthus occidentalis, Persea palustris, and the exotic Triadica sebifera (= Sapium sebiferum). Disturbance of these ponds may result in a reduction to less than 50% cover of Spartina bakeri. Fire is probably an infrequent event.
