Dome Swamp

There are 172 taxa reported for the Dome Swamp habitat.

A short description of the Dome Swamp community from The Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) is “small or large and shallow isolated depression in sand/marl/limestone substrate with peat accumulating toward center; occurring within a fire-maintained community; seasonally inundated; still water; statewide excluding Keys; occasional or rare fire; forested, canopy often tallest in center; pond cypress, swamp tupelo.” A full description can be found in FNAI's 2010 Guide to the Natural Communities of Florida. The current concept of Dome Swamp includes the variants Gum Pond, which is described as “underlain by a clay lens; generally occurs in upland pine; mainly Panhandle; longer hydroperiod and lower fire frequency than cypress-dominated dome swamps; dominated by swamp tupelo,” and Stringer Swamp, which is described as “narrow linear swamps; occur within a pyrogenic community along intermittent streams that only flow during heavy rainfall; Panhandle; dominated by pond cypress.”
