Name: Sporobolus (neglectus, vaginiflorus) - Aristida longispica - Panicum flexile - Panicum capillare Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This annual herbaceous community is a zonal component of Nashville Basin (Tennessee) and Moulton Valley (Alabama) Limestone Cedar Glades. Much of this vegetation is a mixture of annual grasses and perennial forbs, with enormous seasonal variation in dominance. Additional associations may be named. Relations with related vegetation in other ecoregions needs further investigation. Stands are dominated by Sporobolus neglectus, Sporobolus vaginiflorus var. vaginiflorus, and/or Sporobolus vaginiflorus var. ozarkanus (= Sporobolus ozarkanus). Some of the co-occurring forbs are the endemic or near-endemic Dalea gattingeri and Pediomelum subacaule, along with Croton capitatus, Grindelia lanceolata, Hedyotis nigricans var. nigricans, Heliotropium tenellum, Isanthus brachiatus, Manfreda virginica, and Ruellia humilis. Dalea gattingeri is present in most examples of this vegetation type. Grindelia lanceolata has become abundant in some examples; this may merit recognition as an association, or it may be a symptom of disturbance.
