Summary

Description
English: from http://sofia.usgs.gov/virtual_tour/kids/ecosys.html#marsh

Hardwood hammocks are localized, thick stands of hardwood trees that can grow on natural rises of only a few inches of land. In South Florida, hammocks occur in marshes, pinelands, and mangrove swamps. Hammocks may contain many different species of trees such as the sabal palm, live oak, red maple, mahogany, gumbo limbo and cocoplum. Many types of epiphytes ("air plants") and ferns can be found here as well.

Wildlife in hammocks can include tree snails, raccoons, opossums, birds, snakes, lizards, tree frogs, and large animals such as the Florida panther, bobcat, and deer.
