Name: Taxodium distichum / Cephalanthus occidentalis / Boehmeria cylindrica - Ceratophyllum muricatum Maritime Swamp Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association appears to be one of the most distinctive maritime swamps in the Atlantic Coastal Plain. It is currently known from a two sites in North Carolina and Virginia, both in wet dune swales on barrier islands. This example is a somewhat open forest with little to no understory or shrub layer present. The overstory is dominated by <i>Taxodium distichum</i> with lesser amounts of <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i> and <i>Acer rubrum</i> also present. Woody vines are prominent in this association as in many maritime types of the region.
