This Atlantic white-cedar forest is found in flat, non-alluvial peatlands, on organic soils that are permanently saturated. Its range is the Atlantic Coastal Plain in southern Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, and possibly South Carolina. Typical occurrences have a canopy strongly dominated by <i>Chamaecyparis thyoides</i>, with scattered <i>Acer rubrum, Nyssa biflora</i>, and <i>Persea palustris</i> in the canopy and subcanopy. An open to dense shrub stratum typically contains <i>Persea palustris, Lyonia lucida, Clethra alnifolia, Ilex glabra, Ilex coriacea, Smilax laurifolia, Vaccinium formosum, Vaccinium corymbosum</i> (in Maryland only), <i>Magnolia virginiana</i>, and <i>Gaylussacia frondosa (= var. frondosa)</i>. The herb stratum is generally very sparse but may include <i>Woodwardia areolata, Woodwardia virginica</i>, and <i>Osmunda cinnamomea</i>. <i>Sphagnum</i> spp., other mosses, and lichens are common on exposed peat and rotting wood. Establishment follows fire with a return time of 25-100+ years. |

Ascophyllum nodosum - Fucus vesiculosus Tidal Algal Nonvascular Vegetation

This algal vegetation occurs on rocky intertidal habitats of the north Atlantic coast. It spans the littoral zone between mean high tide and mean low tide and can locally extend into the upper sublittoral. This habitat is characterized by alternating submergence by tidal flooding and exposure to air. Substrate is composed of rocks, boulders, and cobbles. <i>Ascophyllum nodosum</i> and <i>Fucus</i> spp. are the most characteristic algae, with other associates including <i>Enteromorpha</i> spp., <i>Ulva lactuca, Porphyra laciniata, Phyllitis fascia</i>, and <i>Cladophora</i> spp. There is seasonal and geographic variability in species composition between areas north versus south of Cape Cod, which forms a major boundary between colder waters to the north fed by arctic currents and warmer waters to the south fed by the Gulf Stream. Distinct species zonation can reflect upper littoral, lower littoral and sublittoral zones, but species often intergrade. Invertebrates are important members of this community, including <i>Mytilus edulis</i> (blue mussel), <i>Balanus balanoides</i> (barnacles), <i>Littorina</i> spp., (periwinkles), and <i>Acmaea testudinalis</i> (limpets), as well as species of <i>Asterias</i> (starfish). |
