Name: Acer rubrum / Alnus serrulata - Lindera benzoin / Glyceria striata - Impatiens capensis Seep Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This community occurs in saturated seepage areas on the edges of active floodplains in the Piedmont and occasionally in the Blue Ridge of North Carolina and possibly South Carolina. It usually occurs in small patches and may be shaded by trees rooted in the adjacent forest or by trees rooted in the wetland. <i>Acer rubrum, Fraxinus pennsylvanica</i>, and <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i> are most constant, but <i>Betula nigra</i> or other floodplain species are often present and may be abundant. The shrub layer is generally dominated by <i>Alnus serrulata</i> or <i>Lindera benzoin</i>. The herb layer is dense and grassy. <i>Glyceria striata, Cinna arundinacea</i>, and a number of <i>Carex</i> species are dominant. Other abundant herbs include <i>Impatiens capensis, Lycopus virginicus, Boehmeria cylindrica, Sagittaria latifolia</i>, and <i>Polygonum sagittatum</i>.
