Name: Taxodium distichum / Cephalanthus occidentalis / Juncus repens Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community occurs on the sandy and peaty, seasonally flooded shores of Lake Drummond (Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge) and Outer Coastal Plain vernal ponds in Virginia. <i>Taxodium distichum</i> forms an open canopy (averaging about 50% cover). The shrub stratum is dominated by <i>Cephalanthus occidentalis</i> and seedlings of <i>Taxodium distichum</i>, with <i>Clethra alnifolia, Leucothoe racemosa, Toxicodendron radicans ssp. radicans</i>, and <i>Acer rubrum</i> also present. Herbaceous species typical of forested swamps, such as <i>Triadenum walteri, Bidens discoidea</i>, and <i>Cuscuta compacta</i>, occupy the peaty bases of trees and shrubs. Larger areas of exposed sand support <i>Juncus repens, Eleocharis quadrangulata, Panicum verrucosum, Fuirena pumila, Cyperus polystachyos var. texensis, Cyperus odoratus, Fimbristylis autumnalis, Lindernia dubia, Echinochloa muricata</i>, and <i>Panicum dichotomiflorum</i>.
