Name: (Quercus prinus) / Vaccinium pallidum / Schizachyrium scoparium - Danthonia spicata / Cladonia spp. Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This type covers vegetation on gently to moderately sloping outcrops of felsic rocks with irregular or undulating surfaces but few crevices, and characterized predominantly by graminoids and low shrubs in fairly shallow soil mats. It includes drier examples where Schizachyrium scoparium, Danthonia spp., or other dry-site grasses predominate. This community is distinguished by the predominance of somewhat deeper soil mats, capable of supporting grasses. Lichen-covered bare rock and thin mats dominated by Selaginella spp. are often present but are less prominent than in granitic dome communities, while grassy mats and low-shrub patches are more prominent. Trees may be dispersed throughout the community rather than largely confined to the edge. This is similar to a granitic dome. Most occurrences are in DuPont State Forest, Transylvania and Henderson counties, North Carolina (M221Dc). It may also occur in the Nantahala National Forest.  Accession Code: VB.CC.27944.QUERCUSPRINUSVA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
