Name: (Pinus rigida) / Schizachyrium scoparium Wooded Herbaceous Alliance
Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of...
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.
