Name: Pinus rigida / Toxicodendron vernix / Gaylussacia baccata / Symplocarpus foetidus Seep Woodland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This type is restricted in range to the Southern Blue Ridge, primarily in North Carolina but reportedly in Georgia. Stands of this association occur in wetlands on creek floodplains, usually at the base of upland slopes or in depressions that are isolated from the creek. Occasional flooding may occur, but upland seepage and rainfall are the main water sources. The presence of an open canopy of <i>Pinus rigida</i> and <i>Acer rubrum</i> is typical. A well-developed shrub layer is typically dominated by <i>Alnus serrulata, Vaccinium fuscatum, Kalmia carolina, Kalmia latifolia, Spiraea alba, Gaylussacia baccata, Toxicodendron vernix</i>, or <i>Salix sericea</i>. In addition, <i>Symplocarpus foetidus</i> is a dominant or abundant herb. <i>Vaccinium macrocarpon</i> and dense patches of <i>Sphagnum</i> spp. may dominate the ground layer. Other typical and common species include <i>Osmunda cinnamomea, Rubus hispidus, Carex folliculata, Carex atlantica</i>, and <i>Carex stricta</i>. Sizable areas of bare mud or shallow water may also be present.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:32539-{2E0C89CB-7B6B-43CD-851F-453EE25CE921} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
