Name: Chamaecyparis thyoides - Pinus elliottii var. elliottii / Nyssa biflora - Acer rubrum var. trilobum / Serenoa repens Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This forest is dominated by a mixed <i>Chamaecyparis thyoides - Pinus elliottii var. elliottii</i> canopy which typically ranges between 65 and 80% cover. A subcanopy of <i>Nyssa biflora</i> and <i>Acer rubrum var. trilobum</i> is present. <i>Sabal palmetto</i> and <i>Serenoa repens</i> are abundant on hummocks. This community occurs in large, constantly saturated basins or poorly drained flats which are inundated under several feet of water during the high precipitation/low evapotranspiration period of spring. The sandy subsoil is overtopped by thick peat and muck. Fire is an infrequent event.
