Name: Taxodium ascendens / Woodwardia virginica Swamp Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This open-structured savanna or woodland encompasses very acidic, species-poor stands in which <i>Taxodium ascendens</i> dominates the open canopy. The subcanopy stratum is usually poorly developed. <i>Nyssa biflora, Pinus taeda, Pinus serotina, Liquidambar styraciflua</i>, and other wetland trees or shrubs may or may not be present. The shrub stratum is usually poorly developed as well, though scattered to moderately dense shrubs sometimes occur. Shrubs include <i>Ilex amelanchier, Eubotrys racemosa, Cyrilla racemiflora</i>, and <i>Lyonia lucida</i>. The herb stratum is dominated by <i>Woodwardia virginica</i>. As far as is known, this community type occurs only in highly acidic, seasonally flooded depressions in North Carolina and South Carolina where it is restricted to the region of clay-based Carolina bays on the southern part of the Inner Coastal Plain.
