Thanks for your attentive comment Daniel. According to The Nature Conservancy ecoregion maps, Congaree NP lies at the border of the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain and the South Atlantic Coastal Plain ecoregions, with the vast majority in the mid Atlantic and a sliver in the south Atlantic. It is very close to the border of the Piedmont Ecoregion. The Conservancy used a variation of Bailey's ecoregions. I would be happy to send you a screen shot from ArcGIS. Ecoregions are artificial but useful human constructs, mainly to help assure we capture ecosystems across a variety of climate and geological gradients. Mother Nature of course is infinitely more complex. Thanks again. Greg
@@lastgreatplaces okay I see what you mean. I live in lowcountry of SC right outside of Charleston which is categorized under South Atlantic coastal plain. Or at least from what I researched. I dont think I've ever been up to congaree so I started to research it a bit and stumbled on your video.
Definitely make the trip to Congaree! It's the best and most accessible bottomland swamp in the southeast. I was there in very early Spring when the water was high.
Congaree isnt in the middle Atlantic coastal plains, it's not even on the coastal plain.
