Name: Andropogon gerardii - Schizachyrium scoparium - Dichanthelium scoparium - Rhynchospora glomerata Grassland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This is a wet-mesic phase of prairies of the Eastern Highland Rim of south-central Tennessee. May Prairie, Coffee County, Tennessee, is the only remaining high-quality example of this vegetation type, which was apparently once represented at other sites (though never extensive). Stands are dominated by <i>Andropogon gerardii, Schizachyrium scoparium, Dichanthelium scoparium</i>, and <i>Rhynchospora glomerata</i>. This community is distinguished from most other prairie communities by its strong representation of a southern, Coastal Plain component in its flora, including various <i>Rhynchospora</i> spp., <i>Dichanthelium</i> spp., and others. It is distinguished from the associated community at May Prairie, ~<i>Schizachyrium scoparium - Panicum anceps - Panicum virgatum - Lespedeza capitata - Scleria</i> spp. Grassland (CEGL004063)$$ by being wetter, and having a stronger component of species such as <i>Rhynchospora glomerata, Rhynchospora globularis, Rhynchospora capitellata, Eryngium integrifolium, Dichanthelium scoparium, Dichanthelium aciculare, Rosa setigera</i>, and <i>Scleria verticillata</i>. This association is also reported from a site in the Northern Loessal Hills of Mississippi (Natchez Trace Parkway), more information is needed.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:32855-{3ADAB714-30EF-43B1-B4B7-C1373465F661} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
