Name: Carex biltmoreana - Pycnanthemum spp. - Krigia montana Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association is found on sloping exfoliation surfaces with generally 10-80% cover of vascular plants. Stands are dominated by <i>Carex biltmoreana</i>. Scattered woody plants may be within an occurrence. Other characteristic species include <i>Krigia montana, Houstonia longifolia (= var. glabra), Schizachyrium scoparium, Diervilla sessilifolia, Melampyrum lineare, Ambrosia artemisiifolia, Coreopsis pubescens, Coreopsis major, Dichanthelium dichotomum var. dichotomum (= var. ramulosum), Dichanthelium acuminatum var. lindheimeri, Pycnanthemum beadlei, Symphyotrichum patens var. patens (= Aster patens var. patens), Heuchera villosa, Fraxinus americana, Sassafras albidum</i>, and <i>Saxifraga michauxii</i>. This community occupies seasonal or temporary seepage over rock, and is moister than <i>Selaginella tortipila</i> communities, which can occur on the same mountains, or sometimes, even in juxtaposition. This community occurs as small patches (typically less than 10 acres) within a forested matrix.
