The canopy consists of relatively open <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i> and <i>Acer rubrum</i>, with occasional <i>Nyssa biflora, Taxodium distichum, Fraxinus pennsylvanica</i>, and <i>Quercus laurifolia</i>. The subcanopy is very strongly dominated by <i>Ulmus americana</i>, with <i>Quercus laurifolia</i> and <i>Pinus taeda</i>, in addition to other canopy species. Shrubs include <i>Morella cerifera</i> and <i>Ilex cassine var. cassine</i>, in addition to canopy and subcanopy species. The herbaceous layer is typically of moderate density and dominated by <i>Scirpus lineatus</i> along with several subordinate <i>Rhynchospora</i> species including <i>Rhynchospora corniculata, Rhynchospora miliacea</i>, and <i>Rhynchospora mixta</i>. This forest currently is known only from the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain of South Carolina.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:32934-{507B5E05-078F-4CEE-8D25-43FE11A63351} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
