Name: Carex leptalea - Parnassia grandifolia - Juncus coriaceus - Solidago patula Ridge and Valley Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This saturated herbaceous vegetation occurs on steep slopes over limestones or dolomites in the Ridge and Valley of northern Tennessee and possibly adjacent Virginia. Cover of vascular plants varies from about 30% in relatively sparse examples to about 70% in denser ones. It occurs in a matrix of saturated Thuja occidentalis-dominated woodlands. Species present include Carex leptalea, Carex sp., Solidago patula, Oxypolis rigidior, Juncus coriaceus, Eupatorium fistulosum, Parnassia grandifolia, Packera aurea (= Senecio aureus), Coreopsis tripteris, Silphium trifoliatum var. latifolium, Viola cucullata, Lobelia siphilitica, Trautvetteria caroliniensis, and seedlings of Thuja occidentalis. Cypripedium reginae is present in some examples, or in the woodlands on the margins of the herbaceous openings. Vegetation is denser on shallow shelves of rock where organic matter collects. Marl-forming Scytonema spp. cover part of the exposed rock surface; Sphagnum spp. are absent. Adjacent shrubs, which may intrude on some examples, include Toxicodendron radicans, Hydrangea sp., Cornus alternifolia, Ribes sp., Lindera benzoin, and Viburnum prunifolium.  Accession Code: VB.CC.24840.CAREXLEPTALEAPA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
