Figure 2. Cedar habitats in the Paiustrine System. Atlantic white cedar forests usually occur 

 in saturated (f) or temporarily flooded (a) zones on hummocks in freshwater wetland, in and 

 below upland seepages, and in wet upland slopes adjacent to existing stands. Isolated, 

 sometimes stunted cedars also emerge above a few saturated scrub-shrub or herbaceous 

 savannah-like Paiustrine situations (adapted from Cowardin et al. 1979). 



Figure 3. Cedar habitats in the Riverine System. Atlantic white cedar forests most frequently 

 occur as streamside swamps or backswamp wetlands in areas not subject to extensive or 

 frequent scouring. Cedars also colonize wet upland slopes adjacent to existing stands; 

 isolated, sometimes stunted cedars also emerge above a few saturated scrub-shrub or 

 herbaceous savannah-like situations adjacent to streams (adapted from Cowardin et al. 

 1979).
