Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This wetland willow forest association may occur on the margins of natural depression ponds, but it also includes vegetation on the margins of impoundment reservoirs. The canopy near the shoreline is dominated by <i>Salix nigra</i>. Other <i>Salix</i> species (including <i>Salix caroliniana</i>) may be present in some examples. <i>Acer rubrum</i> and <i>Acer saccharinum</i> are also important species. <i>Cephalanthus occidentalis</i> and <i>Acer rubrum</i> usually dominate the shrub layer. <i>Alnus serrulata</i> and <i>Itea virginica</i> are also present. <i>Triadenum walteri</i> grows on hummocks at the bases of trees and shrubs. <i>Juncus effusus</i> is often found in the herbaceous layer.
