Name: Taxodium ascendens / Ilex myrtifolia / Carex (striata, turgescens) Stringer Swamp Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This forested community, often known as "cypress stringers," occurs along small, diffuse creeks or streams, and possibly along larger rivers. Small <i>Taxodium ascendens</i> trees form the fairly open to dense canopy. Shrubs species present include <i>Cyrilla racemiflora, Cliftonia monophylla, Ilex myrtifolia, Clethra alnifolia, Lyonia lucida</i>, and <i>Stillingia aquatica</i>. <i>Carex</i> spp. and <i>Rhynchospora</i> spp. including <i>Carex striata, Carex turgescens</i>, and <i>Rhynchospora microcephala</i>, occur in the water and on the drier edges. <i>Scleria baldwinii</i> and <i>Cladium mariscus ssp. jamaicense</i> can be significant herbaceous components. This community occurs on the Coastal Plain from southeastern South Carolina to northern Florida, and west to southeastern Louisiana. The sandy subsoil is overlain by peat. Fire probably occurs more often here than in other <i>Taxodium ascendens</i>-dominated forests.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35657-{0662E38D-AB64-4A0B-8A2C-2C00596DE2A9} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 16
