Name: Andropogon gerardii - Calamagrostis canadensis Sand Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This wet-mesic sand prairie community is found in the central midwestern United States. Stands occur on sandy moist soils in shallow swales or lower slopes of sandy outwash plains, lakeplains and valley trains. Graminoids between 1 and 2 m in height dominate the stand. Trees have less than 10% cover, and shrub cover may vary but is usually lower than the graminoid layer. Dominant grasses include Andropogon gerardii, Calamagrostis canadensis, Sorghastrum nutans, and Spartina pectinata. Panicum virgatum can also be present. Forbs include Calopogon tuberosus, Helianthus grosseserratus, Osmunda cinnamomea, Osmunda regalis, Pycnanthemum virginianum, Rhexia virginica, Viola lanceolata, Xyris torta, and Zizia aurea.  Accession Code: VB.CC.19608.ANDROPOGONGERAR Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
