Name: Taxodium distichum - Nyssa biflora / Berchemia scandens - Toxicodendron radicans / Woodwardia areolata Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This is a nonriverine swamp forest of the Atlantic Coastal Plain of North Carolina and Virginia. Surface water stands in low spots in the winter, but overall the hydrology is probably best considered to be saturated. Vegetation is dominated by <i>Taxodium distichum</i> and <i>Nyssa biflora</i>, with less frequent <i>Populus heterophylla, Nyssa aquatica</i>, and <i>Fraxinus profunda</i>. Disturbed examples of this community may exhibit a dominance of <i>Nyssa aquatica</i>. The subcanopy includes <i>Acer rubrum</i> and <i>Ilex opaca</i>. The shrub stratum includes infrequent <i>Viburnum nudum</i>. Woody vines and lianas are frequent and include <i>Berchemia scandens, Campsis radicans, Smilax rotundifolia, Vitis rotundifolia, Toxicodendron radicans</i>, and <i>Decumaria barbara</i>. The herb stratum is not well-developed but includes <i>Woodwardia areolata</i>.
