Name: Liquidambar styraciflua - Acer rubrum - (Nyssa biflora) / Woodwardia virginica Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community occurs as small (less than one acre) depressions scattered in low oak flats in the Outer Coastal Plain of southeastern South Carolina, northeastern Florida, and possibly adjacent Georgia. <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i> and <i>Acer rubrum</i> are the constant dominants, sometimes with an admixture of <i>Nyssa biflora</i>. Scattered shrubs may occur, usually on logs, including <i>Itea virginica, Vaccinium formosum</i>, and <i>Leucothoe racemosa</i>. <i>Woodwardia areolata</i> dominates the herb layer, at least in the marginal portions of the pond where water is ponded more shallowly and for shorter periods of time; deeper ponds have a ring of <i>Woodwardia</i>, while shallower ponds are <i>Woodwardia</i>-dominated all the way across.
