Name: Pinus rigida / Schizachyrium scoparium - Sorghastrum nutans - Baptisia tinctoria Woodland Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This association includes dry woodlands of the Cumberlands of Kentucky and possibly Virginia on steep, south- to southwest-facing slopes, with canopy strongly dominated by Pinus rigida, also with some Pinus virginiana (around rock outcrops) and scattered Quercus prinus. Canopy coverage varies from 10-80%. Scattered shrubs are present. Schizachyrium scoparium and Sorghastrum nutans dominate the herb layer, and Baptisia tinctoria is also very abundant. This vegetation is fire-maintained, but also strongly influenced by dry conditions. This community is known from the Kentucky side of Pine Mountain, in the Cumberland Mountains (on the Virginia-Kentucky stateline).  Accession Code: VB.CC.25640.PINUSRIGIDASCHI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
