Name: Pinus rigida / Schizachyrium scoparium - Sorghastrum nutans - Baptisia tinctoria Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association includes dry woodlands of the Cumberlands of Kentucky and possibly Virginia on steep, south- to southwest-facing slopes. This community is known from the Kentucky side of Pine Mountain, in the Cumberland Mountains (on the Virginia-Kentucky stateline). It has a canopy strongly dominated by <i>Pinus rigida</i>, also with some <i>Pinus virginiana</i> (around rock outcrops) and scattered <i>Quercus montana</i> and sometimes <i>Quercus marilandica</i>. Canopy coverage varies from 10-80%. Scattered shrubs are present. <i>Schizachyrium scoparium</i> and <i>Sorghastrum nutans</i> dominate the herb layer, and <i>Baptisia tinctoria</i> is also very abundant. This vegetation is fire-maintained, but also strongly influenced by dry conditions.
