Name: Nyssa aquatica - Nyssa biflora Swamp Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This forest, dominated by <i>Nyssa aquatica</i> and <i>Nyssa biflora</i> in varying proportions, is found along shallow borders of alluvial swamps and flats near uplands. It is a Zone II community. The range has not been completely assessed; it is theoretically possible on the Atlantic Coastal Plain from North Carolina to southern Georgia, the Gulf Coastal Plain from about Tallahassee west to southeastern Texas, and the Mississippi Alluvial Plain to southern Arkansas and western Tennessee. <i>Taxodium distichum</i> may occur in the canopy of this community, but is not a dominant (usually less than 25% cover). Other tree canopy/subcanopy species are <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Salix nigra, Populus heterophylla</i>, and <i>Carpinus caroliniana</i>. Other shrub and herbaceous species are <i>Eubotrys racemosa, Cyrilla racemiflora, Planera aquatica</i>, and <i>Saururus cernuus</i>. <i>Decumaria barbara, Toxicodendron radicans, Nekemias arborea</i>, and <i>Bignonia capreolata</i> are commonly occurring vines, but have less than 10% cover.
