Name: Nyssa biflora - Liquidambar styraciflua - Acer rubrum var. trilobum / Clethra alnifolia Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: In this nonriverine swamp forest, <i>Liquidambar styraciflua, Nyssa biflora</i>, and <i>Acer rubrum var. trilobum</i> are the constant and dominant species, with lesser amounts (and lower constancy) of <i>Ulmus rubra, Ulmus americana, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Nyssa aquatica, Populus heterophylla, Quercus laurifolia, Quercus pagoda, Quercus shumardii, Quercus lyrata, Taxodium distichum</i>, and <i>Taxodium ascendens</i>. Subcanopy species can include <i>Ilex opaca, Fraxinus caroliniana</i>, and <i>Magnolia virginiana</i>. <i>Clethra alnifolia</i> is the characteristic shrub species, and often grows densely. Typical herbs (none with high cover) are <i>Carex gigantea, Carex louisianica, Lobelia inflata</i>, and <i>Saururus cernuus</i>. This association occurs at Roquist Pocosin, near the mouth of the Roanoke River, and in other wet nonriverine flats. the species composition suggests a higher nutrient status than some other nonriverine swamp associations.
