Name: Taxodium distichum - Nyssa (biflora, sylvatica) / Clethra alnifolia / Boehmeria cylindrica Floodplain Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This non-tidal swamp forest is characterized by <i>Taxodium distichum</i> and known to occur along the upper reaches of blackwater rivers and associated tributaries of the Maryland and Delaware Coastal Plain. Stands are typically positioned along slow-moving rivers, braided streams and backswamps subject to temporary and seasonal overbank flooding. Soils are composed of sand and silt loam and are frequently flooded for long periods with standing water. The canopy is characterized by emerging <i>Taxodium distichum</i> associated with admixtures of species such as <i>Nyssa biflora, Nyssa sylvatica, Acer rubrum, Liquidambar styraciflua</i>, and <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica</i>. The shrub layer is diverse and typically includes species such as <i>Clethra alnifolia, Ilex verticillata, Ilex opaca, Magnolia virginiana</i>, and <i>Itea virginica</i>. Herb diversity is variable and can be can patchy in stands with a considerable amount of standing water. Most constant species include <i>Boehmeria cylindrica, Saururus cernuus, Woodwardia areolata, Carex crinita, Carex folliculata, Impatiens capensis, Peltandra virginica, Osmunda regalis, Osmunda cinnamomea</i>, and <i>Chelone glabra</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:34861-{E10EF4D2-C6F3-4A79-87F1-3E888CDF4C5D} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
