Name: Sporobolus silveanus - Tridens strictus Grassland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This tallgrass community is dominated by <i>Sporobolus silveanus</i>, with lesser amounts of <i>Tridens strictus</i> and <i>Paspalum floridanum</i>. Typically there is a distinct stratum of low-growing species, including <i>Dichanthelium linearifolium, Dichanthelium aciculare, Dichanthelium oligosanthes var. oligosanthes, Aira elegans, Eragrostis hirsuta</i>, and <i>Eragrostis capillaris</i>. Areas which have been mowed or overgrazed may have <i>Andropogon ternarius, Rudbeckia maxima, Marshallia caespitosa</i> or scattered woody species such as <i>Maclura pomifera</i> or <i>Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana</i>. This community occurs on loamy, low pH upland soils classified as Alfisols. Low, circular mounds called mima or pimple mounds dot the otherwise flat to gently rolling landscape in the northeastern portion of the Blackland Prairie in eastern Texas.
