Name: Phleum pratense Herbaceous Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This alliance includes grasslands primarily dominated by alien species not native to North America, presumably originally planted or introduced by grazing animals. Vegetation of this alliance is widely distributed in the northeastern United States, as well as in montane and higher-elevation areas of the southeastern United States. Phleum pratense, a native of Europe, is characteristic. Occurrences are variable and patchy, often with local dominance of tall forbs. Other characteristic species include Hieracium caespitosum (= Hieracium pratense) (alien), Potentilla canadensis, and Ranunculus acris (alien). These grasslands are maintained by periodic mowing or, in some instances, prescribed burning. This alliance is currently known throughout the northeastern United States and from high elevation pastures or grass balds in the southern Appalachians. It is possible throughout the United States and in southern Canada.  Accession Code: VB.CC.28486.PHLEUMPRATENSEH Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
