Comm #10903	Taxodium ascendens / Hypericum chapmanii / Rhynchospora harperi Dwarf Woodland » more details accession code: VB.CC.35116.CEGL007725	Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...	0	This dwarf pond-cypress savanna is a highly unusual association, which is dominated by a rather open, essentially monospecific canopy of dwarfed <i>Taxodium ascendens</i>. A shrub layer (typically below 1.5 m. in height) is dominated by <i>Hypericum chapmanii</i> with <i>Ilex myrtifolia, Cliftonia monophylla, Cyrilla racemiflora</i>, and <i>Stillingia aquatica</i>. The herbaceous stratum is dominated by <i>Rhynchospora harperi</i> and is more prominent and dense than the shrubs. Other forbs noted include <i>Eriocaulon compressum, Xyris stricta, Sabatia bartramii, Scleria baldwinii, Aristida</i> spp., <i>Hypericum</i> sp., <i>Rhexia</i> sp., <i>Lycopodiella alopecuroides</i>, and <i>Pinguicula planifolia</i>. Numerous epiphytes on the <i>Taxodium ascendens</i> include <i>Epidendrum conopseum, Pieris phillyreifolia, Osmanthus americanus, Ilex glabra, Asplenium platyneuron, Thelypteris kunthii</i>, and foliose or fruticose lichens. These dwarf pond-cypress savannas are the result of a rather unique geologic setting and the interrelationship of edaphic, hydrologic, and fire-regime factors.

Comm #10906	Liquidambar styraciflua - Quercus (nigra, phellos) - Pinus taeda / Vaccinium elliottii - Morella cerifera Ruderal Forest » more details accession code: VB.CC.35649.CEGL007726	Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...	0	This southeastern Coastal Plain forest contains a mixture of upland and lowland species that typically occur together in uplands following cessation of agriculture. It is primarily dominated by hardwood trees, particularly <i>Quercus</i> spp. and <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i>. This community type occurs in two phases: one with an emergent canopy of large <i>Pinus taeda</i> trees, and the other without the emergent canopy. Coverage by <i>Pinus taeda</i> in the <i>Pinus taeda</i> phase ranges from 10 to greater than 60%. The closed canopy is codominated by <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i> with <i>Quercus</i> spp., especially <i>Quercus nigra</i> and <i>Quercus phellos</i>, or possibly <i>Quercus pagoda</i>. <i>Nyssa sylvatica</i> is also typical in the canopy or subcanopy, along with <i>Liriodendron tulipifera</i> in some cases. The moderately well-developed subcanopy is dominated by canopy species with <i>Ilex longipes, Sassafras albidum, Acer rubrum, Cornus florida, Prunus serotina, Vaccinium arboreum, Carpinus caroliniana</i>, and others. The shrub stratum is often sparse, and is primarily composed of canopy and subcanopy species. Occasionally a rather dense cover of <i>Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera)</i> may be present. Other species that may occur include <i>Euonymus americanus, Rubus</i> sp., <i>Callicarpa americana, Vaccinium elliottii, Gaylussacia frondosa</i>, and <i>Gaylussacia dumosa</i>. The vine/liana stratum is sparse to moderate, and species present include <i>Bignonia capreolata, Vitis rotundifolia, Smilax bona-nox, Smilax rotundifolia, Wisteria frutescens, Gelsemium sempervirens, Toxicodendron radicans, Ampelopsis arborea</i>, and others. The herbaceous layer ranges from moderate to fairly dense. Typical species include <i>Chasmanthium sessiliflorum, Scleria triglomerata, Carex abscondita, Dichanthelium boscii (= Panicum boscii), Mitchella repens, Juncus coriaceus, Chimaphila maculata, Asplenium platyneuron, Malaxis unifolia</i>, and others. The exotic <i>Lonicera japonica</i> is common in occurrences of this community. This forest type is documented in the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain, but is possible in adjacent regions; global distribution needs assessment.

Comm #10909	Fraxinus pennsylvanica / Leersia lenticularis - Carex lupulina Forest » more details accession code: VB.CC.36150.CEGL007728	Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...	0	This forest occurs on somewhat poorly drained to poorly drained silty clay loam soils in temporarily flooded sloughs in the Atlantic Coastal Plain. The mostly closed to closed canopy of this community is dominated by <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica</i>. Other typical canopy species include <i>Ulmus americana, Acer negundo</i>, and <i>Carya aquatica</i>. The well-developed subcanopy may contain the same species as the canopy; additional species in this stratum include <i>Planera aquatica, Celtis laevigata, Ilex decidua, Ulmus alata, Crataegus phaenopyrum</i>, and <i>Diospyros virginiana</i>. The single occurrence on which this description is based had no shrub cover. The herbaceous layer is typically of moderate density and dominated by <i>Leersia lenticularis, Boehmeria cylindrica</i>, and <i>Carex lupulina</i> with <i>Saururus cernuus</i> and <i>Polygonum setaceum</i>. The vine coverage is moderate, and species present include <i>Smilax tamnoides (= Smilax hispida), Vitis rotundifolia, Campsis radicans, Toxicodendron radicans, Menispermum canadense</i>, and <i>Ampelopsis arborea</i>. This forest currently is known only from the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain of South Carolina.
Comm #10910	Spartina patens - Typha spp. Chenier Plain Oligohaline Herbaceous Vegetation » more details accession code: VB.CC.20278.SPARTINAPATENST	Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...	0	This association is the most common marsh type of the Chenier Plain of coastal Louisiana. The type is strongly dominated by Spartina patens with Typha spp. as the most common associate, but numerous other species are present. Species richness is relatively high in the type. Additional common species include Phragmites australis, Vigna luteola, Sagittaria lancifolia, Schoenoplectus americanus (= Scirpus americanus), Schoenoplectus californicus (= Scirpus californicus), Schoenoplectus robustus (= Scirpus robustus), other members of the Cyperaceae, Ludwigia spp., Echinochloa spp., Juncus roemerianus, and others.
