Name: Chamaecyparis thyoides - Pinus elliottii / Nyssa biflora - Acer rubrum var. trilobum / Serenoa repens Swamp Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This forest is dominated by a mixed <i>Chamaecyparis thyoides - Pinus elliottii var. elliottii</i> canopy which typically ranges between 65 and 80% cover. A subcanopy of <i>Nyssa biflora</i> and <i>Acer rubrum var. trilobum</i> is present. <i>Sabal palmetto</i> and <i>Serenoa repens</i> are abundant on hummocks. This saturated forest association is restricted to the East Gulf Coastal Plain of Mississippi, Florida, and possibly Alabama. It occurs in large, constantly saturated basins or poorly drained flats which are inundated under several feet of water during the high precipitation/low evapotranspiration period of spring. The sandy subsoil is overtopped by thick peat and muck. Fire is an infrequent event.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35448-{E78D2D68-358B-4249-8E16-1FD2C8784328} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 2
