A conifer or mixed swamp that occurs on organic soils (usually peat) in poorly drained depressions and along pond edges in southeastern New York and northern New Jersey.
The characteristic tree is Atlantic white cedar (Chamaecyparis thyoides); the canopy cover of Chamaecyparis in these swamps is quite variable, ranging from nearly pure stands to as little as 30% of the canopy. In mixed stands the codominants are typically red maple (Acer rubrum), black gum (Nyssa sylvatica), and eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis).
Characteristic small trees and shrubs are winterberry (Ilex verticillata), highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum), smooth winterberry (Ilex laevigata), rosebay (Rhododendron maximum), swamp azalea (Rhododendron viscosum), sweet pepperbush (Clethra alnifolia), mountain holly (Nemopanthus mucronatus), and red chokeberry (Aronia arbutifolia).
In a dense stand of Chamaecyparis, the groundcover is predominantly bryophytes, including several species of Sphagnum, and at least one characteristic liverwort, Pallavicinia lyellii. In mixed stands with a more open canopy some characteristic herbs are cinnamon fern (Osmunda cinnamomea), interrupted fern (O. claytoniana), royal fern (O. regalis), skunk cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus), wild calla (Calla palustris), and starflower (Trientalis borealis). Data on characteristic animals are needed. |

This woodland alliance of cismontane California requires shallow, excessively drained soils on steep, north-facing slopes. Elevations range from 100-1500 m. Aesculus californica is the dominant or important species in the tree layer and can attain tree size due to the low fire frequency. Other trees present may include Umbellularia californica, Fraxinus dipetala, Pinus sabiniana, Prunus ilicifolia, Quercus wislizeni, and Heteromeles arbutifolia. Shrubs are infrequent, and the herbaceous layer is sparse. |

This woodland occurs in association with large peat domes in the tidewater region of North Carolina. It is extirpated from Virginia. The canopy is dominated by <i>Pinus serotina</i>, and canopy closure varies from woodland structure to a nearly closed canopy. Historic accounts suggest that these communities were once much more common than now, and formerly had more open canopy [see ~<i>Pinus serotina / Arundinaria tecta</i> Wooded Wet Shrubland (CEGL003851)$$ in ~<i>Arundinaria tecta</i> Wet Shrubland Alliance (A0804)$$]. |
