| Summary: | The object of this study was to investigate various physical and botanical parameters of doming in stands of cypress trees (Taxodium distichum (L.) L. C. Richard) in southeastern Florida and to develop basic data about these small swamps. Analysis of doming was made in relation to topography, substrate, microclimate, soil moisture, soil acidity, soil nutrients, vegetation, size and distribution of cypress, and cypress ages, growth rates, and fire traumas. Study results were compared with competing theories of doming and it was concluded that the theory of differential marginal fire promulgated by Kurz and Wagner best fits the data set. | |
