Name: Pinus taeda - Chamaecyparis thyoides - Acer rubrum - Nyssa biflora / Lyonia lucida - Clethra alnifolia Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: Nonriverine swamps of the outer Coastal Plain (embayed or tidewater region) of North Carolina, occurring on very large flats with high water table. The canopy is dominated by variable mixtures of Pinus taeda, Pinus serotina, Chamaecyparis thyoides, Taxodium distichum, Taxodium ascendens, Nyssa biflora, Acer rubrum var. trilobum, and Liriodendron tulipifera. The subcanopy is open to dense, and consists of Magnolia virginiana, Persea palustris, and Cyrilla racemiflora. The shrub layer is often well-developed, though not pocosin-like, and characteristically includes Lyonia lucida, Clethra alnifolia, Cyrilla racemiflora, Vaccinium formosum, and Vaccinium fuscatum. Smilax laurifolia is a liana climbing into the canopy. The herb layer is poorly developed, with Woodwardia areolata, Woodwardia virginica, Carex spp., and Sphagnum spp. Soils are generally organic, such as Typic Medisaprists and Terric Medisaprists.  Accession Code: VB.CC.27644.PINUSTAEDACHAMA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
