Name: Morella cerifera - Toxicodendron radicans / Spartina bakeri Shrubland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association occurs on flats adjacent to tidal reaches of rivers in the South Atlantic Coastal Plain. It receives seepage from adjacent uplands, maintaining a saturated condition, and also may receive tidal inundation in very rare storm tide events. Scattered trees of <i>Pinus taeda</i> and <i>Sabal palmetto</i> may be present. <i>Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera)</i> and <i>Toxicodendron radicans ssp. radicans</i> dominate the dense shrub stratum, and <i>Baccharis angustifolia</i> can be a major component. <i>Spartina bakeri</i> is the dominant herb; other herbs include <i>Juncus roemerianus, Cladium mariscus ssp. jamaicense, Cynanchum angustifolium</i>, and <i>Ipomoea sagittata</i>. Occurrences can exceed 50 acres in size.
