Sabal palmetto - Quercus virginiana Swamp Forest | NatureServe Biotics 2019

Name: Sabal palmetto - Quercus virginiana Swamp Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: These wet palmetto - live oak forests occur throughout central and southern Florida, and are sometimes known as low hammocks or hydric hammocks. At increasingly smaller scales, this or related vegetation range as far north as southern North Carolina. <i>Sabal palmetto</i> and <i>Quercus virginiana</i> generally share canopy dominance, and few other trees except <i>Juniperus virginiana var. silicicola</i> are commonly encountered. <i>Sabal palmetto</i> or the other two primary canopy species may strongly dominate local patches. <i>Morella cerifera</i> is a typical shrub or small tree. Some related vegetation includes more diverse-canopied hydric hammocks, occurring in more inland situations (or at least away from immediate coastal influence) and with enough admixture of deciduous and tardily deciduous trees to be placed in a mixed forest subclass. This vegetation generally occurs on sands, shell hash, or limestone, with either a substantial calcareous component or influence (past or present) of brackish water. Occurrences in North Carolina and South Carolina are of small size and are marginally attributable to this alliance, where they occur only as small inclusions in, or adjacent to, upland maritime forests.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35357-{D8226078-1A2C-4EBC-9FCD-06EE3FEAA0A8} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 16
