FIG. 14.1. A Venn diagram displaying that all pocosins are classified as palustrine wetlands and are shrub bogs. Carolina bays and pocosins do show some overlap in terms of similar plant species and would be classified as shrub bogs and palustrine systems, but many Carolina bays with open water would be classified as lacustrine systems according to Cowardin, Carter, et al. (1979).

FIG. 14.2. Short pocosin, 2009, at the Pocosins Lakes Wildlife Refuge in coastal North Carolina. Note the short stature of the vegetation (1–2 m), including the pond pine (Pinus serotina) in the background. Here the vegetation is dominated by Lyonia Lucida (fetter bush) and Ilex sp. Peat depths are in excess of 3 m. (Photo by C. J. Richardson.)
