Name: Carex biltmoreana - Pycnanthemum spp. - Krigia montana Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association is found on sloping exfoliation surfaces with generally 10-80% cover of vascular plants. Stands are dominated by Carex biltmoreana. Scattered woody plants may be within an occurrence. Other characteristic species include Krigia montana, Houstonia longifolia (= var. glabra), Schizachyrium scoparium, Diervilla sessilifolia, Melampyrum lineare, Ambrosia artemisiifolia, Coreopsis pubescens, Coreopsis major, Dichanthelium dichotomum var. dichotomum (= var. ramulosum), Dichanthelium acuminatum var. lindheimeri, Pycnanthemum beadlei, Symphyotrichum patens var. patens (= Aster patens var. patens), Heuchera villosa, Fraxinus americana, Sassafras albidum, and Saxifraga michauxii. This community occupies seasonal or temporary seepage over rock, and is moister than Selaginella tortipila communities, which can occur on the same mountains, or sometimes, even in juxtaposition. This community occurs as small patches (typically less than 10 acres) within a forested matrix.
