Southern Peatland Sedge DepressionElement Identifiers NVCS association: Carex striata var. striata - Xyris fimbriata - Lachnanthes caroliana Herbaceous Vegetation Database Code: CEGL007718 Formation: Seasonally flooded temperate or subpolar grassland Alliance: CAREX STRIATA SEASONALLY FLOODED HERBACEOUS ALLIANCE (V.A.5.N.k.65) Element Concept Summary: These are seasonally flooded peat depressions dominated or codominated by Carex striata var. striata. Some areas are codominated by Xyris fimbriata and/or Lachnanthes caroliana. Other species may include Dulichium arundinaceum, Rhynchospora inundata, Rhynchospora cephalantha, Rhynchospora fascicularis, Syngonanthus flavidulus, Eleocharis microcarpa, Sarracenia minor, Xyris smalliana, Drosera intermedia, and Lipocarpha micrantha. Sphagnum spp. are typically abundant. Environment: See Summary Vegetation: Stands of this association are dominated or codominated by Carex striata var. striata. Some areas are codominated by Xyris fimbriata and/or Lachnanthes caroliana. Other species present may include Dulichium arundinaceum, Rhynchospora inundata, Rhynchospora cephalantha, Rhynchospora fascicularis, Syngonanthus flavidulus, Eleocharis microcarpa, Sarracenia minor, Xyris smalliana, Drosera intermedia, and Lipocarpha micrantha. Dynamics: See Summary Similar Associations: No information Synonymy: No information Comments: Some stands assigned here (e.g., from Mallory Swamp in Florida) may be the result of disturbance of formerly wooded vegetation. Carex striata var. striata occurs in zones of a depression pond at Fort Benning, Georgia, but not at a sufficient scale to be recognized as an association. The nominal taxon ranges from South Carolina south to Florida, and west to Mississippi. It is rare in Alabama and Mississippi. Conservation Ranking & Rare Species GRank: G2G3 (02-05-21): The nominal taxon ranges from South Carolina south to Florida, and west to Mississippi. It is rare in Alabama and Mississippi. The full range and abundance of the type is not known. Some stands are present on the Osceola National Forest (Florida). High-ranked species: No information Element Distribution Range: This association has been documented from Florida and is possible in Georgia. The nominal taxon ranges from South Carolina south to Florida, and west to Mississippi. It is rare in Alabama and Mississippi. States: FL GA?

Rhynchospora tracyi may also be present. These depressions can be of various geomorphic origins, including limesinks and interdune swales. Additional geographic types may be developed as more specific information becomes available. Environment: This vegetation of deeper Coastal Plain depressional wetlands is found in the Atlantic Coastal Plain and the East Gulf Coastal Plain of the United States. These depressions can be of various geomorphic origins, including limesinks and interdune swales. This includes the deepest and central zone of limesinks, where standing water is typically always present. Vegetation: This vegetation of deeper Coastal Plain depressional wetlands are typically dominated by aquatic Eleocharis spp., such as Eleocharis elongata, Eleocharis equisetoides, and Eleocharis cellulosa. Rhynchospora tracyi may also be present. An example from the Apalachicola National Forest (Florida) is dominated by Eleocharis equisetoides with Mayaca fluviatilis, Nuphar lutea ssp. advena, and scattered Panicum hemitomon (which dominates an adjacent seasonally flooded zone). Dynamics: See Summary Similar Associations: Panicum hemitomon - Eleocharis equisetoides - Rhynchospora inundata Herbaceous Vegetation (CEGL004127)--there is some floristic overlap with this seasonally flooded association. Synonymy: No information Comments: This association is documented on Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge (Baldwin County, Alabama). Examples on the Apalachicola National Forest (Florida) are found in the deeper parts of limesink depressional wetlands. Conservation Ranking & Rare Species GRank: G3?
