Name: Taxodium ascendens / Carex striata - Iris tridentata - (Woodwardia virginica) Depression Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This pond-cypress depression association is found in coastal South Carolina and possibly in coastal Georgia and North Carolina. Taxodium ascendens dominates this primarily open-canopy wetland depression that may occur as a savanna or meadow with few trees. The herbaceous layer is typically overrun by mats of rhizomatous Carex striata. Zones of Woodwardia virginica (or occasionally Panicum hemitomon) are found in larger depressions. A variety of bay species occur intermixed among the Carex striata, with Iris tridentata, Paspalum praecox, Eriocaulon compressum, Rhexia aristosa, Lobelia boykinii, Xyris spp., and Rhynchospora spp. being most common. In the outer edges or drawdown zones, Sarracenia flava may be in abundance. This association is highly variable in composition depending upon the fire frequency, recent rainfall, and anthropogenic alterations to hydrology.
