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. <i>Taxodium ascendens</i> 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 <i>Carex striata</i>. Zones of <i>Woodwardia virginica</i> (or occasionally <i>Panicum hemitomon</i>) are found in larger depressions. A variety of bay species occur intermixed among the <i>Carex striata</i>, with <i>Iris tridentata, Paspalum praecox, Eriocaulon compressum, Rhexia aristosa, Lobelia boykinii, Xyris</i> spp., and <i>Rhynchospora</i> spp. being most common. In the outer edges or drawdown zones, <i>Sarracenia flava</i> may be in abundance. This association is highly variable in composition depending upon the fire frequency, recent rainfall, and anthropogenic alterations to hydrology.
