Name: Salix nigra / (Clethra alnifolia, Morella cerifera) / Nyssa aquatica Ruderal Wet Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This forest, dominated by <i>Salix nigra</i>, occurs as a result of clearcut logging of forests dominated by <i>Taxodium distichum</i> and/or <i>Nyssa aquatica</i>. It occurs in very low areas of river floodplains throughout the lower Atlantic and Gulf coastal plains and in the Mississippi River Alluvial Plain. Succession may lead to re-establishment of dominance by <i>Taxodium distichum</i> and <i>Nyssa aquatica</i>. Stump sprouts of <i>Nyssa</i> spp. may occur as canopy emergents. Tree seedlings of several species (<i>Taxodium distichum, Nyssa aquatica, Nyssa biflora, Acer rubrum</i>, and <i>Fraxinus caroliniana</i>) may be found growing beneath the shrub layer. Common shrubs are <i>Clethra alnifolia, Lyonia ligustrina var. foliosiflora, Itea virginica</i>, and <i>Morella cerifera</i>. Occurrences are most common on alluvial soils, usually Inceptisols with a clay component, and most will experience annual flooding.
