Name: Cephalanthus occidentalis / Polygonum hydropiperoides - Panicum verrucosum Shrubland
Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This pond community is known from the Coastal Plain of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia (and possibly other states). Examples include seasonally flooded shrublands that occur in relatively small basins that draw down entirely during dry years, exposing some bare substrate by the end of the growing season. The substrate is a shallow organic layer overlying silt loam or clay loam. <i>Cephalanthus occidentalis</i> is the dominant shrub, but <i>Decodon verticillatus</i> may also be present. Characteristic herbs are <i>Panicum verrucosum, Dulichium arundinaceum, Polygonum hydropiperoides, Torreyochloa pallida, Rhexia virginica, Polygonum amphibium, Juncus repens</i>, and <i>Panicum hemitomon</i>. Other associates may include <i>Bidens frondosa, Scirpus cyperinus, Proserpinaca palustris, Triadenum virginicum, Dichanthelium spretum (= Panicum spretum), Scleria reticularis</i>, and <i>Fimbristylis autumnalis</i>. Species composition of this community tends to be variable among occurrences.
