Name: Taxodium distichum / Zizania aquatica - Carex canescens ssp. disjuncta Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community is known from the Northwest River, Virginia. It occurs on oligotrophic, somewhat quaking peat at the upland edge of an extensive low marsh, where frequently flooded by wind tides. It retains standing water for most of the growing season and may receive groundwater seepage from adjacent uplands. Fire may also be important in the maintenance of this community. <i>Taxodium distichum</i> forms an open, stunted canopy. Shrubs dominate the upland edge, and are dominated by <i>Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera var. cerifera), Clethra alnifolia, Lyonia ligustrina var. foliosiflora</i>, and <i>Toxicodendron radicans ssp. radicans</i>. Away from the upland edge, <i>Eleocharis rostellata, Eleocharis fallax</i>, and <i>Carex canescens ssp. disjuncta</i> are the spring dominants. By late summer, <i>Zizania aquatica</i> and <i>Eryngium aquaticum var. aquaticum</i> are the aspect dominants. Other noteworthy herbaceous species include <i>Cladium mariscoides, Rhynchospora glomerata, Nymphaea odorata, Pogonia ophioglossoides, Eriocaulon decangulare var. decangulare, Coreopsis falcata, Asclepias lanceolata</i>, and <i>Physostegia leptophylla</i>.
