Name: Umbilicaria mammulata Nonvascular Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Vegetation strongly dominated by Umbilicaria mammulata, on relatively moist, shaded, rock outcrops. This vegetation occurs where periodic seepage occurs on acidic rock outcrops. Individual occurrences can be as large as an acre. Vascular plants are generally sparse or absent, though trees of adjacent forest communities often shade the outcrop community for much of the day. Other umbilicate lichens may also occur. Associates include Dryopteris intermedia, Polypodium virginianum (= Polypodium vulgare). Typically found on northeast-facing slopes.
