Name: Salix caroliniana Temporarily Flooded Forest Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Vegetation in this alliance occurs primarily on riverfronts and lake shores, mostly in the Atlantic Coastal Plain, Interior Low Plateau, and Ozarkian highlands. Salix caroliniana is the dominant small tree, and can form a dense to open or very open canopy. This vegetation tends to occupy small areas; these are usually relatively linear or crescent-shaped patches associated with streamfronts, sand bars, etc., but it sometimes occupies larger areas. Communities of this alliance result from flooding disturbance and are generally short-lived.
