Name: Andropogon gerardii - Panicum (anceps, virgatum) Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Mesic deep soil perennial grasslands of the southern Ridge and Valley of Tennessee. This vegetation is dominated by Andropogon gerardii, Panicum virgatum, and Panicum anceps, in patches of various combinations and percent covers depending on slope position. It also contains Dichanthelium spp. and diverse forbs. Best developed along the margins of small streams and on lower, sheltered slopes. Some examples are maintained by mechanical clearing of powerline rights-of-way. A slightly drier community which may occur adjacent to this one is Schizachyrium scoparium - Sorghastrum nutans - Silphium spp. Herbaceous Vegetation (CEGL007932). More information is needed on the detailed floristics of this type and its relation to related vegetation in other nearby ecoregions.
