This evergreen forest association is a rich, mixed conifer-deciduous forest occurring on active floodplains and streambanks of montane valley floors. The presence of Abies concolor distinguishes this community from the more common Populus angustifolia - Picea pungens / Alnus incana Woodland (CEGL000934) and is indicative of the southern-most mountains in Colorado. |

This forested community, often known as "cypress stringers," occurs along small, diffuse creeks or streams, and possibly along larger rivers. Small <i>Taxodium ascendens</i> trees form the fairly open to dense canopy. Shrubs species present include <i>Cyrilla racemiflora, Cliftonia monophylla, Ilex myrtifolia, Clethra alnifolia, Lyonia lucida</i>, and <i>Stillingia aquatica</i>. <i>Carex</i> spp. and <i>Rhynchospora</i> spp. including <i>Carex striata, Carex turgescens</i>, and <i>Rhynchospora microcephala (= Rhynchospora cephalantha var. microcephala)</i>, occur in the water and on the drier edges. <i>Scleria baldwinii</i> and <i>Cladium mariscus ssp. jamaicense</i> can be significant herbaceous components. This community occurs on the Coastal Plain from southeastern South Carolina to northern Florida, and west to southeastern Louisiana. The sandy subsoil is overlain by peat. Fire probably occurs more often here than in other <i>Taxodium ascendens</i>-dominated forests. |

These forested acidic seeps occur in the Cumberland Plateau, the Ridge and Valley, areas of the western portions of the Southern Blue Ridge at lower elevations, as well as in the Appalachian Plateaus of Kentucky (Cliff section), and western Kentucky at the edge of the Shawnee Hills (Dripping Springs Escarpment). These forests are found primarily in streamhead swales on broad ridges on sandy, saturated soils derived from shales and sandstones. This community develops where a perched water table is present, as opposed to seepage from the base of a slope [for vegetation related to this latter condition, see ~<i>Acer rubrum var. trilobum - Nyssa sylvatica / Rhododendron canescens - Viburnum nudum var. nudum / Woodwardia areolata</i> Forest (CEGL004425)$$]. Canopy coverage can be moderately dense to quite open. Canopy composition is highly variable, but <i>Acer rubrum var. trilobum, Nyssa sylvatica, Liriodendron tulipifera</i>, and <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i> are common. Subcanopy trees can include <i>Ilex opaca var. opaca, Carpinus caroliniana</i>, and (within range) <i>Magnolia macrophylla</i>. Tall shrubs are scattered and may be locally dominant. Typical shrubs include <i>Ilex verticillata, Alnus serrulata, Rhododendron maximum, Photinia melanocarpa (= Aronia melanocarpa), Vaccinium simulatum, Viburnum nudum var. nudum</i>, and <i>Cornus foemina</i>. In examples from the Southern Blue Ridge, <i>Viburnum nudum var. cassinoides</i> will replace <i>Viburnum nudum var. nudum</i> in this type. Woody vines can be common and include <i>Toxicodendron radicans</i> and (especially towards the southern part of the association's distribution), <i>Decumaria barbara</i> and <i>Bignonia capreolata</i>. Typical herbaceous species include <i>Osmunda cinnamomea, Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis, Chasmanthium laxum, Thelypteris noveboracensis, Woodwardia areolata, Oxypolis rigidior, Carex intumescens, Carex debilis, Carex crinita, Medeola virginiana, Lobelia cardinalis, Juncus effusus var. pylaei, Scirpus polyphyllus, Rubus hispidus, Solidago patula var. patula, Athyrium filix-femina ssp. asplenioides</i>, and <i>Viola x primulifolia</i>. <i>Platanthera integrilabia</i> and <i>Platanthera clavellata</i> are also known from these forested seeps but are more typical in more open woodland seeps. Patches of <i>Sphagnum</i> spp. are common and <i>Sphagnum lescurii</i> is typical. In the Daniel Boone National Forest (Kentucky), some stands can contain <i>Tsuga canadensis</i> and be transitional to ~<i>Tsuga canadensis - Acer rubrum - (Liriodendron tulipifera, Nyssa sylvatica) / Rhododendron maximum / Sphagnum</i> spp. Forest (CEGL007565)$$. |

This xeric forest develops on fuel-limited, xeric, deep sands within the range of <i>Pinus palustris</i> in the West Gulf Coastal Plain of Louisiana and Texas. A midstory of <i>Quercus incana</i> or <i>Quercus margarettiae</i> is usually present, indicative of the extreme droughtiness of the sites. The short-shrub stratum is patchy to dense and may include <i>Vaccinium arboreum, Ilex vomitoria, Sideroxylon lanuginosum ssp. lanuginosum, Asimina parviflora, Chionanthus virginicus, Stillingia sylvatica, Frangula caroliniana, Hamamelis virginiana</i>, and seedlings of canopy species. The scattered herbaceous layer contains <i>Schizachyrium scoparium, Aristida desmantha</i>, and <i>Cnidoscolus texanus</i>. Scattered fruticose lichens (<i>Cladonia</i> spp.) often occur. The ground cover is sparse, due to extreme site conditions. This community generally occurs on uplands surrounded by <i>Pinus palustris</i>-dominated woodlands. |

This wetland willow forest association may occur on the margins of natural depression ponds, but it also includes vegetation on the margins of impoundment reservoirs. The canopy near the shoreline is dominated by <i>Salix nigra</i>. Other <i>Salix</i> species (including <i>Salix caroliniana</i>) may be present in some examples. <i>Acer rubrum</i> and <i>Acer saccharinum</i> are also important species. <i>Cephalanthus occidentalis</i> and <i>Acer rubrum</i> usually dominate the shrub layer. <i>Alnus serrulata</i> and <i>Itea virginica</i> are also present. <i>Triadenum walteri</i> grows on hummocks at the bases of trees and shrubs. <i>Juncus effusus</i> is often found in the herbaceous layer. |
