Name: Andropogon gerardii - (Panicum virgatum) - Muhlenbergia richardsonis Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This big bluestem wet-mesic prairie type is found in the northern tallgrass prairie region of the United States and Canada. In South Dakota, soils are moist loams and poorly drained silt loams derived from glacial drift. The vegetation is dominated by a dense layer of tall grasses, such as <i>Andropogon gerardii</i> and <i>Panicum virgatum</i>, with associates of <i>Calamagrostis canadensis, Calamagrostis stricta</i>, and <i>Spartina pectinata</i>. <i>Muhlenbergia richardsonis</i> may be a diagnostic, less dominant species of the northern tallgrass prairie. In the Sheyenne Delta, this type may form a distinctive wet-mesic sand prairie type.  Accession Code: VB.CC.37037.CEGL002199 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
