Name: Quercus michauxii - Quercus pagoda / Clethra alnifolia - Leucothoe axillaris Wet Flatwoods Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This forest occurs on extensive interstream flats with fine-textured mineral soils. Hydrology is seasonally to nearly permanently saturated, with occasional ponding, and is maintained by a high water table rather than riverine or estuarine flooding. This community generally occurs in association with large peatlands, for example in the Great Dismal Swamp of the Atlantic Coastal Plain. The canopy is dominated by <i>Quercus michauxii, Quercus pagoda, Quercus laurifolia, Liquidambar styraciflua</i> (especially in logged examples), <i>Quercus nigra</i>, and <i>Fagus grandifolia</i> (on mesic microsites). Typical understory species are <i>Persea palustris, Carpinus caroliniana ssp. caroliniana, Asimina triloba, Ilex opaca var. opaca</i>, and <i>Acer rubrum</i>. The shrub layer is often dense and typically has species such as <i>Clethra alnifolia</i> and <i>Leucothoe axillaris</i> as dominants. <i>Vaccinium formosum, Itea virginica, Eubotrys racemosa, Sabal minor, Lindera benzoin var. benzoin</i>, and <i>Arundinaria tecta</i> are also often present. <i>Trillium pusillum var. virginianum</i> sometimes occurs in this community.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35675-{7A1829D3-F614-4163-9FEC-13E9C53F90FE} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 38
