Name: Nyssa ursina / Aristida beyrichiana - Rhynchospora (chapmanii, corniculata) Seepage Meadow Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This type represents very wet prairies or open savannas on the Apalachicola National Forest in northern Florida. These are possibly the wettest phase of these communities currently described. Although essentially an herbaceous community, this type often has an emergent shrub layer of <i>Nyssa ursina</i> and clumps of other shrubs such as <i>Ilex glabra, Ilex myrtifolia, Morella caroliniensis, Cliftonia monophylla</i>, and may have a spindly layer of stunted <i>Pinus elliottii</i> present. These sites are heavily dominated by <i>Aristida beyrichiana</i> but also support <i>Ctenium aromaticum, Rhynchospora chapmanii</i> and/or <i>Rhynchospora corniculata</i>, and <i>Aristida palustris</i>. <i>Rhynchospora corniculata</i> is found in the wettest sites and is either rare or absent from other wet prairies of the region which are apparently somewhat drier. <i>Lycopodiella alopecuroides</i> and <i>Rhexia lutea</i> may also be indicative. The emergent shrub layer may develop due to soil wetness which does not allow fire to penetrate the wettest portions of these savannas.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:36643-{B8E1CC94-2919-45F5-ACA4-E30798E2C0D5} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 5
