Name: Lolium (arundinaceum, pratense) Herbaceous Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This alliance includes sites dominated by European tall or meadow fescues, including the taxa Lolium pratense and Lolium arundinaceum (formerly treated as Festuca elatior and Festuca arundinacea, respectively). This non-native vegetation occurs in a variety of different ecological and anthropogenic settings such as pastures, and hayfields, with more-or-less cultural origins, though sometimes no longer actively maintained. These communities are sometimes nearly monospecific, but can also be very diverse and contain many native species of grasses, sedges, and forbs. The dominant species in this alliance are of uncertain and controversial generic placement.
