Forested Seep Slope
Descripción:
Baygalls are wetlands with peaty substrates that form on slopes or at the base of slopes, where they are maintained by downslope seepage, typically from sandy hills. They are usually saturated, though some sites are occasionally inundated. Fire is rare or absent.
The soils are typically very acidic, creating nutrient limitations for most deciduous species and favoring evergreen trees and ericaceous shrubs.
Characteristic vegetation includes sweetbay magnolia ( Magnolia virginiana ), loblolly bay ( Gordonia lasianthus ), dahoon holly ( Ilex cassine ), red maple ( Acer rubrum ), and various mixed hardwoods.
