Description
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.
