Name: Taxodium distichum - Taxodium ascendens / Panicum hemitomon Lakeshore Swamp Forest Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance of the Southeastern Coastal Plain includes seasonally (to semipermanently) flooded woodlands of lakeshores dominated by <i>Taxodium distichum</i> or <i>Taxodium ascendens</i>, sometimes in intergrading populations. The shrub stratum can range from fairly dense to absent, and such species as <i>Acer rubrum, Cephalanthus occidentalis, Clethra alnifolia, Eubotrys racemosa</i>, and <i>Toxicodendron radicans ssp. radicans</i> may be present. The herbaceous layer may contain <i>Eleocharis quadrangulata, Juncus repens, Panicum dichotomiflorum, Panicum hemitomon</i>, and <i>Panicum verrucosum</i>, as well as species more typical of forested swamps that root at the peaty bases of trees and shrubs.
