Name: Andropogon gerardii - Schizachyrium scoparium - Dichanthelium scoparium - Rhynchospora glomerata Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This is a wet-mesic phase of prairies of the Eastern Highland Rim of south-central Tennessee. May Prairie, Coffee County, Tennessee, is the only remaining high-quality example of this vegetation type, which was apparently once represented at other sites (though never extensive). Stands are dominated by Andropogon gerardii, Schizachyrium scoparium, Dichanthelium scoparium, and Rhynchospora glomerata. This community is distinguished from most other prairie communities by its strong representation of a southern, Coastal Plain component in its flora, including various Rhynchospora spp., Dichanthelium spp., and others. It is distinguished from the associated community at May Prairie, Schizachyrium scoparium - Panicum anceps - Panicum virgatum - Lespedeza capitata - Scleria spp. Herbaceous Vegetation (CEGL004063) by being wetter, and having a stronger component of species such as Rhynchospora glomerata, Rhynchospora globularis, Rhynchospora capitellata, Eryngium integrifolium, Dichanthelium scoparium, Dichanthelium aciculare, Rosa setigera, and Scleria verticillata.  Accession Code: VB.CC.24144.ANDROPOGONGERAR Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
