Proposed Conditions. Cypress flats, also termed wet prairie, herb bog, wet savannah, or grass- sedge savannah, are flat, poorly drained communities that support a sparse and widely spaced canopy of pond cypress (Taxodium ascendens) and occasionally swamp tupelo (Nyssa biflora), slash pines (Pinus elliottii), and other hydric trees. Characteristic species tolerate both flooding and extensive dry periods. Plant composition varies with soils, fire regime, and hydroperiod. The ground cover is dense, diverse, and species-rich, particularly with monocots. Beakrush species and other members of the Cyperaceae are dominant, abundant and prolific. Hydrophytic shrubs and trees are absent, widely scattered, or confined to the ground cover as coppice sprouts. Occasionally, isolated pines establish on ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ with improved aeration and represent small distinctive and isolated flatwood “islands” within this community. In wetter areas, pond cypress, black gum, sweet bay, and red maple may establish as isolated patches or coppicing groups. The community type and its species are fire dependent.
