Name: Nyssa biflora - Quercus nigra - Quercus laurifolia - Pinus taeda / Ilex opaca - Carpinus caroliniana Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: These forests occur in small stream floodplains in the Coastal Plain and lower Piedmont with forest vegetation of mixed hydrological tolerances, due to fluvial landforms too small and hydrologic regime too variable to differentiate separate associated communities. The canopy of stands always includes substantial <i>Nyssa biflora</i> or <i>Taxodium distichum</i> along with substantial bottomland oaks (e.g., <i>Quercus nigra, Quercus laurifolia</i>) and other bottomland hardwoods, along with <i>Pinus taeda</i>. Typical subcanopy components include <i>Ilex opaca</i> and <i>Carpinus caroliniana</i>. The shrub stratum typically includes <i>Leucothoe axillaris</i> and <i>Cyrilla racemiflora</i>.
