Palustrine. Floodplains
seasonally or intermittently
flooded. Stream flow is
moderate. Soils are alluvial.
Mixture of bottomland hardwood and
mesophytic trees with lush shrubs,
vines and herb layers. Dominant trees
include river birch, sycamore, tuliptree,
sweetgum, American elm, sugarberry,
black walnut, green ash, bitternut
hickory, red hickory, shingle oak, red
maple, white ash, silverbell.
Understory dominated by ash-leaf
maple, box elder.
Low Elevation Seep Catawba,
Iredell
Palustrine. Permanently
saturated mucky soils with no
standing water. Seepages
and springs at edges of
slopes or edges of
floodplains.
Partly shaded thin canopy of red maple
and willow oak with diverse
herbaceous wetland vegetation
including lizard’s tail, orange
jewelweed, cinnamon fern, and royal
fern. Sites are important breeding and
foraging sites for amphibians.
Hillside Seepage Bog Iredell Palustrine. Permanently
saturated mucky soils to
intermittently dry. Seepages
on slopes or edges of
bottomlands.
Open, dense herbaceous interior and
forested outer edge. Outer trees
include red maple, sweetgum, tulip
poplar, and black gum. Interior
species include sedges, pipeworts,
pitcher plants, grass-pink, cowbane,
ferns, sneezeweed, ragwort, and
golden club.

ponded rain, not seepage.
Closed tree canopy dominated by
overcup oak and willow oak. Other
trees can include water oak,
sweetgum, red maple, tulip poplar,
swamp black gum, swamp white oak,
and shagbark hickory. Sparse shrubs
and herbs, with abundant mosses.
Vines are prolific in disturbed areas.
