Reference:
Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description:
This association covers wet-mesic to seasonally inundated perennial deep soil grasslands of the southeastern Highland Rim of Tennessee and possibly related areas of Kentucky. This vegetation is dominated by Andropogon glomeratus, Andropogon gerardii, Panicum virgatum, Sorghastrum nutans and Schizachyrium scoparium (var. scoparium and var. divergens), in patches of various combinations and percent covers depending on degree of wetness. Wettest areas are dominated by Andropogon glomeratus, which also indicates some of the southern geographical affinities of this association. Additional common graminoid species include Aristida purpurascens var. virgata (= Aristida virgata), Calamagrostis coarctata, Chasmanthium laxum, Dichanthelium aciculare (= Dichanthelium angustifolium), Dichanthelium dichotomum, Dichanthelium scoparium, Eleocharis microcarpa, Gymnopogon brevifolius, Panicum anceps, Panicum verrucosum, and Rhynchospora glomerata. Important nongraminoids include Helianthus angustifolius, Eupatorium pilosum, Eupatorium rotundifolium, Lespedeza capitata, Apios americana, Pycnanthemum muticum, Symphyotrichum dumosum (= Aster dumosus), Smilax rotundifolia, Smilax glauca, Solidago odora, Solidago rugosa, Potentilla simplex, Pteridium aquilinum, Osmunda regalis, and Acer rubrum. Also abundant are Polytrichum commune, Sphagnum spp., and other mosses.
