Name: A.1921
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: ~Schizachyrium scoparium$-dominated grasslands with scattered ~Pinus rigida$. This alliance includes ultramafic outcrop barrens of Virginia and serpentine barrens of the mid-Atlantic Piedmont region. This latter vegetation consists of open, herb-dominated grasslands on serpentine, which contain ~Schizachyrium scoparium$ and ~Scleria pauciflora$ under scattered ~Pinus rigida$. The Piedmont examples in Virginia actually do not contain ~Pinus rigida$, but instead are adjacent to areas with ~Pinus virginiana$.
