Name: Cephalanthus occidentalis Central Interior Pond Shrubland Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: These are ponds dominated by the tall shrub <i>Cephalanthus occidentalis</i> found in sinkholes and other depressions in the unglaciated regions of the south-central United States. Stands vary from dense tall shrub thickets to open shrublands. Tree canopy may reach 25% in some stands, with tree associates varying from <i>Acer saccharinum</i> and <i>Quercus palustris</i> in the north to <i>Taxodium distichum</i> in the south. Standing water often is present. <i>Cephalanthus occidentalis</i> is often the sole dominant in stands of this alliance, particularly in deeper (&gt;0.5 m depth) zones of groundwater basins or lake borders on deep organic soils. Occasional shrub associates include <i>Cornus</i> spp., <i>Decodon verticillatus, Ilex verticillata, Rosa palustris, Salix</i> spp., <i>Vaccinium corymbosum</i>, and <i>Viburnum dentatum</i>. Inundation is continuous throughout the year, or these sites can become dry in mid or late summer or during periods of prolonged drought. Soils can vary in texture from clays to sands, with organic horizons overlying these soils.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:38758-{3F478693-C4D4-4D9A-A223-B6958292BD2D} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
