Name: Adiantum tenerum Herbaceous Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This alliance consists of moist limestone outcrops (for instance on sinkhole slopes), dominated and characterized by Adiantum tenerum. This alliance occurs on shaded sinkhole walls and slopes, on exposed weathered limestone. Adiantum tenerum dominates the herb layer, with scattered individuals of Parietaria praetermissa, Arenaria lanuginosa, and other ferns. Calciphilic mosses, especially Anomodon rostratus, are abundant. The vegetation is shaded by topographic position and by overhanging trees rooted in the adjacent mesic hammock communities.
