Name: Coastal Plain Acidic Cliff Sparse Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This sparsely vegetated cliff association occurs in the Coastal Plain of the southeastern United States. Examples are found on steep to vertical outcrops of acidic unconsolidated sediments, generally on river bluffs. Vegetation is sparse, consisting of scattered trees, shrubs, herbs, and sometimes bryophytes that include weedy species, species of the adjacent forest communities, along with species of open dry and open wet habitats. <i>Pinus taeda, Morella cerifera</i>, and <i>Andropogon</i> spp. are frequent. Most of the species are acid-tolerant, and more basophilic species are largely absent.
