Name: Phleum pratense - Bromus pubescens - Helenium autumnale Ruderal Meadow
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This vegetation type is currently known from high-elevation pastures or grass balds in the Southern Appalachians but is possible throughout the United States and in southern Canada. It represents montane grasslands with many alien species, presumably planted or introduced by grazing animals. <i>Phleum pratense</i>, a native of Europe, is characteristic. Occurrences are variable and patchy, often with local dominance of tall forbs. Other characteristic species include <i>Hieracium caespitosum</i> (alien), <i>Potentilla canadensis</i>, and <i>Ranunculus acris</i> (alien). Stands of this type are maintained by periodic mowing or, in some instances, prescribed burning.
