Name: Sarracenia alata - Rhynchospora gracilenta - Rudbeckia scabrifolia - Schoenolirion croceum Seepage Meadow Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This wet, fire-maintained, hillside seepage community occurs on seepage slopes in sandy <i>Pinus palustris</i> uplands in the West Gulf Coastal Plain of eastern Texas and western Louisiana. This oligotrophic wetland is maintained by seepage at the zone between an overlaying, permeable sandy layer and a lower layer of relatively impermeable material such as sandstone or clay. The vegetation of intact examples is dominated by a dense, species-rich, graminoid-forb layer less than 1 m tall with a continuous to nearly continuous cover, typically 80-90%. <i>Sarracenia alata</i> is often the aspect dominant of this community. Emergent stems of <i>Toxicodendron vernix, Magnolia virginiana, Persea borbonia</i>, and/or <i>Pinus palustris</i> may be present even in well-burned examples. An emergent layer of woody stems, including <i>Magnolia virginiana, Toxicodendron vernix</i>, and <i>Pinus palustris</i> may be present. Woody shrubs have a cover of less than 10% in frequently burned examples but increase greatly with reductions in fire frequency. This type is intended to encompass the range of variation present in West Gulf Coastal Plain seepage bogs, although various authors have recognized a number of different subtypes.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:33018-{3362A68C-9B2B-48E6-A116-1BD2BEE04870} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
