Pinus elliottii / Cliftonia monophylla - Cyrilla racemiflora Swamp Woodland | NatureServe Biotics 2019

Name: Pinus elliottii / Cliftonia monophylla - Cyrilla racemiflora Swamp Woodland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association presumably represents swamps of the East Gulf Coastal Plain of Florida (and possibly Mississippi and Alabama) with overstory canopy dominated by <i>Pinus elliottii var. elliottii</i>. In addition, <i>Pinus serotina</i> may be present but not abundant. These swamps may occur on strongly acidic, infertile, often peaty soils which are either shallowly inundated or waterlogged during wet seasons. They may be associated with blackwater areas and are usually isolated from more fire-prone flatwoods. In contrast to examples with a strong component of <i>Pinus serotina</i>, this association may inhabit deeper portions of acidic swamps. The midstory is strongly dominated by <i>Cliftonia monophylla</i> and <i>Cyrilla racemiflora</i> which tend to exclude invasion of other species, and which strongly suppress herbaceous understory species. Other evergreen species, such as <i>Lyonia lucida</i> and <i>Ilex coriacea</i>, may be common. Overall, species richness is quite low.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:32510-{5B865075-21D6-4685-9C60-0E049507351E} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
