Name: Umbilicaria muehlenbergii Nonvascular Alliance Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This alliance consists of consolidated cliffs or unconsolidated bouldery talus dominated by Umbilicaria muehlenbergii, in combination with other lichens. The only association currently defined in this alliance occurs on talus and exposed outcrops of Tuscarora quartzitic sandstone, at 1050-1400 m (3500-4600 feet) elevation in the central Appalachians, and it is dominated by Umbilicaria muehlenbergii, Lasallia papulosa, and 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, and Sorbus americana, are established.  Accession Code: VB.CC.19771.UMBILICARIAMUEH Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
