Name: Melaleuca quinquenervia Seasonally Flooded Forest Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This alliance includes forests of southern Florida dominated by the aggressive exotic Melaleuca quinquenervia. Forests of this alliance are usually extremely dense, and the dense shade and perhaps allelopathic factors normally severely limit the presence of other vascular plants. Cladium mariscus ssp. jamaicense often occurs in more open stands. Borders of occurrences may consist of individuals shorter than 5 m and may also be more open. Melaleuca quinquenervia-dominated vegetation is able to invade and occupy areas with a variety of hydrologic conditions, but predominates in seasonally flooded situations, with mean hydroperiods of 75-240 days. This exotic community is a target of suppression and control efforts in portions of southern Florida.  Accession Code: VB.CC.28468.MELALEUCAQUINQU Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
