Name: Quercus phellos / Carex (albolutescens, intumescens, joorii) / Climacium americanum Wet Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association represents upland depression swamps found in the Piedmont of the Carolinas, Virginia, and the Potomac Valley region of Maryland. It also occurs in limited areas of the adjacent Inner Coastal Plain of the Carolinas. Examples are usually dominated by an almost pure canopy of <i>Quercus phellos</i>, sometimes with codominant <i>Quercus lyrata</i> or <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i>; scattered individuals of other tree species may be present. Shrubs are generally sparse and not particularly diagnostic of this community. The most characteristic component of the understory are wetland sedges such as <i>Carex albolutescens, Carex intumescens</i>, and <i>Carex joorii</i>, but a number of other species may also be encountered. <i>Sphagnum lescurii, Climacium americanum</i>, and <i>Polytrichum</i> spp. are important moss species. These ponds are important amphibian breeding areas.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35646-{B9FFB3C3-2A25-4F58-BBBB-CCDEB33A5E92} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 82
