Name: Taxodium ascendens / Ilex myrtifolia Depression Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This forest, dominated by a moderate to dense canopy of Taxodium ascendens over Ilex myrtifolia, occurs in depressions on the Coastal Plain from southern North Carolina south to panhandle and peninsular Florida, and west to Alabama and Louisiana. Other characteristic species in the canopy, which can occasionally share dominance with Taxodium ascendens are Nyssa biflora and (from southeastern South Carolina south) Pinus elliottii var. elliottii. Typical occurrences have a mostly closed canopy, little understory with shrubs and herbs established on fallen logs, tree bases or areas where the substrate is elevated. Deep areas may have rooted aquatics and surface water will be present for extended periods of the year.
