Name: Juniperus virginiana / Bouteloua curtipendula - Carex eburnea Wooded Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This small-patch calcareous rocky summit community occurs in southern New England and portions of the northern Piedmont. Dry, south-facing slopes of calcareous bedrock support small grassland openings characterized by Schizachyrium scoparium and Bouteloua curtipendula. Juniperus virginiana is usually present as a stunted, sparse canopy. Other possible woody associates may include Fraxinus americana, Ostrya virginiana, or Quercus muehlenbergii. Shrubs are sparse but when present may include Celtis occidentalis or Cornus alternifolia. The herbaceous composition is quite diverse and variable among occurrences but often includes such species as Carex eburnea, Anemone cylindrica, Solidago bicolor, Panicum virgatum, Carex pensylvanica, Lespedeza violacea, Lespedeza capitata, Asclepias viridiflora, Asclepias verticillata, Muhlenbergia sobolifera, Sporobolus compositus (= Sporobolus asper), Triosteum aurantiacum, Piptatherum racemosum (= Oryzopsis racemosa), Pycnanthemum incanum, Sorghastrum nutans, Onosmodium spp., Packera aurea (= Senecio aureus), Packera obovata (= Senecio obovatus), and others. This community occurs in association with forests characterized by Quercus muehlenbergii.  Accession Code: VB.CC.27188.JUNIPERUSVIRGIN Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
