Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community occurs on near-vertical, north-facing sandstone cliffs at about 700 m (2200 feet) elevation, and is known only from northeastern Tennessee. Near-constant seepage, the steep north-facing aspect, and the position of this community in a deep gorge maintain saturated conditions. The most abundant plants are Trichophorum caespitosum (= Scirpus cespitosus), Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis, Oxypolis rigidior, Rhynchospora capitellata, Alnus serrulata, and Acer rubrum. Other species include Rhododendron minus, Fraxinus americana, Clethra acuminata, Nyssa sylvatica, Spiranthes cernua, Linum striatum, Schizachyrium scoparium, Eurybia divaricata (= Aster divaricatus), Hypericum mutilum, and Dichanthelium sp.
