Name: Planera aquatica Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association consists of forests of the southeastern United States Coastal Plain in which <i>Planera aquatica</i> is dominant and may form an essentially monospecific canopy. Relatively few additional species are present in other vegetational strata, although these short-statured forests sometimes have a scattered emergent canopy of other tree species typical of flooded swamps. The herbaceous and vine/liana strata are sparse, and no species are known to be diagnostic of this type relative to other bottomlands. Due in part to extreme periods of inundation, this habitat is typically very low in species diversity.
