457 Florida strangler fig-gumbo limbo-cabbage palm forest South Florida Coastal Strand and Maritime Hammock. This hardwood hammock vegetation occurs in South Florida on various substrates from shallow soils over limestone rock to deeper organic soils built up over time in marshes. The area closer to the coast may be wind-pruned, but further inland trees are more protected and reach normal heights. The closed canopy is dominated by a wide variety of tropical hardwoods over a fairly sparse shrub layer and very sparse nonwoody layer. 410 1 1 102 18 1
