Name: Taxodium distichum - Taxodium ascendens / Panicum hemitomon Swamp Woodland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association represents narrow wooded shorelines of natural Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain acidic/blackwater lakes (peatlands lakes and Carolina bays). This type is found on nearly all natural lakes in the Coastal Plain of North Carolina with the exception of Lake Waccamaw. Vegetation is quite sparse and low in species diversity; the vegetated zone is typically only a few meters in width. Overstory is typified by an open canopy of <i>Taxodium distichum</i> and occasionally <i>Taxodium ascendens</i>. Individual cypress trees tend to be small/stunted, and are likely quite old. Cypress regeneration is noticeably absent in most examples. A sparse shrub layer, consisting of <i>Vaccinium</i> sp. (probably <i>Vaccinium formosum</i>), <i>Cyrilla racemiflora</i>, and <i>Eubotrys racemosa</i>, is often present. These shrubs appear to be distributed in clumps as they are rooted on either hummocks or cypress knees and bases. Beds of <i>Panicum hemitomon</i> may also be present and patchily distributed.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:33254-{7AF7CC8D-7C25-4A63-BA7F-9561CEFB8985} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 4
