Name: Umbilicaria muehlenbergii - Lasallia papulosa - (Melanelia stygia) Nonvascular Vegetation Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: Talus and exposed outcrops of Tuscarora quartzitic sandstone, at 1050-1400 m (3500-4600 feet) elevation in the central Appalachians, dominated by Umbilicaria muehlenbergii, Lasallia papulosa, and sometimes Melanelia stygia. The highly acid, extremely quartzitic rocks support numerous crustose lichens. Crevices with slight soil development have Cladina rangiferina, and very scattered vascular plants, such as Vaccinium angustifolium, Menziesia pilosa, Kalmia latifolia, Dicentra eximia, and Sorbus americana are established. Timber rattlesnakes (Crotalus horridus) are very common, as are wood rats (Neotoma magister).  Accession Code: VB.CC.19770.UMBILICARIAMUEH Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
