Name: Taxodium ascendens / Annona glabra / Bacopa caroliniana Swamp Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This dome-shaped <i>Taxodium ascendens</i> community of southern Florida occurs in poorly drained depressions which are underlain by an impervious layer that impedes drainage and traps precipitation. It is traditionally separated from cypress strands by their round rather than linear shape, and by floristic and hydrologic differences, i.e. little flow. Cypress domes tend to have longer hydroperiods (8-12 months) and denser canopies than cypress strands. This community is associated with bedrock depressions; the larger trees in the center are in deeper water, but deeper soil as well. Their greater size is more due to the greater productivity of the site than to greater age, though damaging fires enter domes from adjacent prairie vegetation and are more likely to kill or damage the less flooded, smaller, peripheral trees. <i>Taxodium ascendens</i> is the dominant tree, generally with abundant epiphytes and the oldest and largest individuals characteristically occupying the center, with smaller and younger individuals around the margins. The understory flora is typified by species with tropical affinities.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35653-{4DD499F5-386D-4BE4-8360-4BB8A97B2095} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
