This alliance, found in parts of the northeastern United States, contains vegetation found in maritime dune-swale communities and mountain bogs of Central Appalachians (beyond the range of Chamaedaphne calyculata), as well as cranberry bogs in Ohio. Further information is needed to characterize this alliance. |

This early-successional community type is a small, groundwater-fed acidic fen characterized by dwarf-shrubs and mucky peats. It occupies small seepage zones with abundant groundwater discharge along toeslopes bordering small stream floodplains of the Maryland inner Coastal Plain. Historical remnants of this community type can also be found bordering former millponds that have filled in or along drainages impounded by road crossings. Stands (n=6) are very small, ranging from 0.2 to 8.7 acres in size. Substrates are extremely acidic (mean pH= 4.3) and consist of deep, mucky peats. The vegetation is characterized as a patchy mosaic of shrubs and herbs growing on moss-covered (<i>Sphagnum</i> spp.) hummocks that give way to hollows of standing water and deep, mucky peats. Prominent shrubs are <i>Clethra alnifolia, Chamaedaphne calyculata, Vaccinium macrocarpon</i>, and <i>Vaccinium corymbosum</i>. Other characteristic shrubs include <i>Triadenum virginicum (= Hypericum virginicum), Photinia pyrifolia (= Aronia arbutifolia), Rhododendron viscosum (= var. viscosum), Decodon verticillatus</i>, and <i>Rubus hispidus</i>. Small trees of <i>Acer rubrum, Pinus rigida, Liquidambar styraciflua, Ilex opaca</i>, and <i>Magnolia virginiana</i> may be scattered on hummocks or occupy drier edges of the fen. The most characteristic herbs are <i>Rhynchospora alba, Dichanthelium dichotomum var. dichotomum (= Panicum lucidum), Sarracenia purpurea, Drosera rotundifolia var. rotundifolia</i>, and <i>Osmunda cinnamomea</i>. Less frequent herbs reported include <i>Rhexia virginica, Drosera intermedia, Arundinaria gigantea, Carex exilis, Rhynchospora capillacea</i>, and <i>Eriophorum virginicum</i>. |

Plantations of exotic <i>Quercus acutissima</i>, grown for wildlife enhancement. This Eurasian species is planted for wildlife due to its ability to produce acorns after a shorter time than native oaks. It has the capacity to spread into native forests from these plantings. |

This association represents tropical maritime hammocks of the southwestern coast of Florida. In comparison to related hammocks of the eastern Florida coast, this type is less species-rich and lacks some species characteristic of the eastern type (such as <i>Guapira discolor, Exothea paniculata, Nectandra coriacea, Amyris elemifera, Metopium toxiferum, Krugiodendron ferreum, Coccothrinax argentata</i>, and <i>Simarouba glauca</i>). However, this type includes some species not found in the east, such as <i>Piscidia piscipula, Acanthocereus tetragonus, Agave decipiens, Conocarpus erectus</i>, and <i>Hymenocallis latifolia</i>. Other characteristic species include <i>Acanthocereus tetragonus, Eugenia foetida, Eugenia axillaris, Forestiera segregata var. segregata, Chiococca alba, Randia aculeata</i>, and <i>Sideroxylon celastrinum</i>. |
