This community occurs in seasonally flooded depression ponds developed by solution and collapse of carbonate rocks underlying acidic colluvial materials deposited on the eastern edge of the Great Valley of Virginia, in Augusta, Rockingham, and southern Page counties, Virginia. This community has a variable physiognomy, from an open woodland with scattered individuals or groves of <i>Quercus palustris</i>, to entirely herbaceous with a marginal zone of trees. <i>Quercus palustris</i> is the most common and characteristic tree species; other trees include <i>Acer rubrum, Nyssa sylvatica, Pinus rigida</i>, and <i>Diospyros virginiana</i>. The shrub (and woody vine) stratum is usually sparse or absent; it can include <i>Vaccinium corymbosum, Vaccinium fuscatum, Cephalanthus occidentalis</i>, and <i>Smilax rotundifolia</i>. The herb stratum is well-developed. Herbaceous species with high constancy include <i>Panicum rigidulum var. rigidulum, Panicum verrucosum, Eleocharis acicularis, Agrostis perennans, Dichanthelium acuminatum, </i><i>Hypericum boreale</i><i>, </i><i>Helenium virginicum</i> (endemic to this and related communities in Virginia and Missouri), <i>Panicum philadelphicum, Bidens frondosa, Viola lanceolata, Erechtites hieraciifolia, Symphyotrichum dumosum (= Aster dumosus), Fimbristylis autumnalis, Rhexia mariana</i>, and <i>Rhexia virginica</i>. |

These forests occur on floodplains of the inner South Atlantic Coastal Plain and adjacent East Gulf Coastal Plain, including the Sandhills region, of Georgia and adjacent South Carolina. They are dominated by <i>Nyssa biflora</i> and <i>Acer rubrum var. rubrum</i>, with varying amounts of <i>Quercus laurifolia, Quercus lyrata, Fraxinus caroliniana</i>, and <i>Ilex opaca</i> in the canopy and subcanopy. <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i> and <i>Liriodendron tulipifera</i> may also occur in some examples, especially following timber removal or natural disturbance. In addition, <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica</i> and <i>Carpinus caroliniana</i> are reported from some examples. Shrubs may include <i>Itea virginica, Leucothoe axillaris</i>, and <i>Lyonia lucida</i>. Some typical vines include <i>Ampelopsis arborea, Parthenocissus quinquefolia, Toxicodendron radicans</i>, and <i>Smilax laurifolia</i>. Herb diversity is low, but species present may include <i>Boehmeria cylindrica, Carex</i> spp., <i>Commelina virginica, Dulichium arundinaceum, Hydrocotyle verticillata, Justicia ovata, Saururus cernuus, Triadenum</i> spp., <i>Viola</i> spp., and <i>Woodwardia areolata</i>. This community typically grades up into Southern Mixed Hardwood Forest. |

This West Gulf Coastal Plain community occurs as isolated circular depressions of less than an acre to several acres in size, locally called "baygols." The closed canopy is typically dominated by <i>Quercus laurifolia</i>, with lesser amounts of <i>Quercus nigra</i> and <i>Nyssa biflora</i>. The typical understory contains <i>Diospyros virginiana</i> and <i>Crataegus</i> spp. The herb stratum is poorly developed. This community occurs on the Intermediate Pleistocene Terraces (Bentley and Montgomery) in a pine flatwoods landscape. |

This shrubby 'baygall' community occurs along the southwestern periphery of the Upper West Gulf Coastal Plain in eastern Texas, in linear seepages on lower slopes. A scattered emergent canopy of <i>Nyssa sylvatica</i> and <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i> may be present. The shrub layer is dense and is dominated by <i>Viburnum nudum var. nudum</i>. Other characteristic components of the shrub stratum include <i>Smilax laurifolia, Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera var. cerifera), Nyssa sylvatica, Acer rubrum, Smilax bona-nox</i>, and <i>Mikania scandens</i>. Characteristic herbs include <i>Woodwardia areolata, Rhynchospora miliacea, Boehmeria cylindrica, Dichanthelium acuminatum var. lindheimeri (= Dichanthelium lindheimeri), Hypericum mutilum, Triadenum walteri, Hydrocotyle verticillata, Eleocharis acicularis, Ludwigia palustris, Carex leptalea, Chasmanthium laxum, Lycopus rubellus, Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis, Eleocharis tortilis, Polygonum hydropiperoides, Juncus effusus</i>, and <i>Osmunda cinnamomea</i>. |

This is a herbaceous-dominated seepage slope community, 1-2 acres in size. It is known from a single location on Mount Le Conte in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. This community occurs on a steep, south-facing, exposed slope, at 1830 m (6000 feet) elevation. The site is thought to be a former landslide scar. It is a perennial seep, with small rock outcroppings. This community occurs in the spruce-fir zone and is adjacent to forests affected by balsam woolly adelgid (<i>Adelges piceae</i>). The vegetation is open with little or no shading by the surrounding forest. Graminoid species have almost continuous coverage, growing within large mats of <i>Sphagnum</i>. It is strongly dominated by <i>Calamagrostis cainii</i>. Other species with moderate coverage include <i>Carex ruthii, Carex misera, Gentiana linearis</i>, and <i>Dennstaedtia punctilobula</i>. Additional herbaceous species include <i>Carex debilis, Glyceria nubigena, Hypericum graveolens, Krigia montana, Parnassia asarifolia</i>, and <i>Solidago glomerata</i>. Shrubs and small trees may be scattered within the seep but are more prominent around the perimeter. Woody species include <i>Abies fraseri, Picea rubens, Prunus pensylvanica, Rhododendron catawbiense, Rubus canadensis</i>, and <i>Vaccinium erythrocarpum</i>. |

This is one of two currently recognized Oligohaline Mixture Marsh types mainly in the Chenier Plain of coastal Louisiana and adjacent Texas, but also present in the Deltaic Plain of Louisiana to a limited degree. The type is strongly dominated by <i>Paspalum vaginatum</i> with <i>Spartina patens</i> as a frequent codominant. Species richness in the type is moderate. Additional common species include <i>Sesbania drummondii, Echinochloa</i> spp., <i>Alternanthera philoxeroides</i> (exotic), <i>Schoenoplectus californicus (= Scirpus californicus)</i>, members of the Cyperaceae (including <i>Cyperus articulatus, Cyperus haspan, Rhynchospora corniculata, Eleocharis</i> spp.), <i>Hibiscus moscheutos ssp. lasiocarpos, Lythrum alatum var. lanceolatum, Panicum virgatum, Sacciolepis striata, Juncus effusus, Zizaniopsis miliacea, Bidens laevis, Phragmites australis, Typha</i> spp., <i>Sagittaria lancifolia, Sesbania herbacea (= Sesbania macrocarpa)</i>, and others. |
