Name: Schizachyrium scoparium - Sorghastrum nutans - Andropogon gerardii - Bifora americana Vertisol Grassland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This tallgrass prairie community occurs on Vertisols in the southern and central portions of the Blackland Prairie and in the Fayette Prairie regions of Texas. In the northern Blackland Prairie region this type dominates areas where gilgai are poorly developed, as well as occurring in microhighs of gilgai microtopography in close association with ~<i>Tripsacum dactyloides - Panicum virgatum - Sorghastrum nutans - Helianthus maximiliani</i> Grassland (CEGL002217)$$. <i>Schizachyrium scoparium, Sorghastrum nutans, Andropogon gerardii</i>, and <i>Bifora americana</i> are dominant and/or characteristic species. Secondary grass species include <i>Nassella leucotricha, Bouteloua curtipendula, Elymus canadensis</i>, and <i>Koeleria macrantha</i>.
