Name: Taxodium distichum / Boehmeria cylindrica / Ceratophyllum muricatum Maritime Swamp Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association appears to be one of the most distinctive maritime swamps in the Atlantic Coastal Plain. It is currently known from a single site in North Carolina from a wet dune swale or depression on a barrier island. This example is a somewhat open forest with little to no understory or shrub layer present. The overstory is dominated by Taxodium distichum with lesser amounts of Liquidambar styraciflua and Acer rubrum also present. Woody vines are prominent in this association as in many maritime types of the region.
