Figure 3.44: Cypress-Tupelo Swamp, a typical bottomland hardwood forest along areas of the northern Gulf Coast and southern Atlantic States of the U.S., although variations in species composition do exist for the mid-Atlantic states. Areas such as this remain partially flooded to fully flooded through the year and may experience periods of higher water levels, as well. There is little to no movement of water, although these environments do have slight daily fluctuations because of tidal influence on their waters. Salt water is, however, not present because of their upslope, inland locations.
