Name: Taxodium ascendens - Nyssa biflora / Carex striata - Rhynchospora (careyana, cephalantha, microcephala) Stringer Woodland Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This stringer woodland association is characterized by Taxodium ascendens and Nyssa biflora with a mixed sedge understory. These stringers occur in seasonally (or semipermanently) flooded flow-ways that include swales, limesinks and other depressional wetlands. The sedges Carex striata, Rhynchospora cephalantha, and Rhynchospora careyana tend to form a thick mat in the soggy substrate. Evergreen shrubs, such as Lyonia lucida, Clethra alnifolia, and Cyrilla racemiflora, will often be found growing in raised patches or around the bases of large trees. Periodic droughts allow for the occasional establishment of Acer rubrum, although it is less likely to persist over time given a relatively frequent fire regime. This regime will maintain the open herbaceous layer and remove other hardwood invaders as well.  Accession Code: VB.CC.28396.TAXODIUMASCENDE Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
