Maritime Hammock
Phil Manor |
Maritime hammocks are relatively wet hardwood forests found between uplands and
true wetlands. They are also found in a narrow band along parts
of the Gulf and Atlantic coasts where they often extend to the edge
of coastal salt marshes. These communities contain water oak, live
oak, red maple, Florida elm, cabbage palm, red cedar, blue-beech,
and sweet gum.
