Name: Umbilicaria mammulata Cliff Vegetation
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: Vegetation is strongly dominated by <i>Umbilicaria mammulata</i>, on relatively moist, shaded rock outcrops, often on slopes with northerly aspects. This vegetation occurs where periodic seepage occurs on acidic rock outcrops. Individual occurrences can be as large as an acre. Vascular plants are generally sparse or absent, though trees or shrubs of adjacent forest communities often shade the outcrop community for much of the day. Other umbilicate lichens, shade-tolerant foliose lichens such as <i>Flavoparmelia baltimorensis</i>, and numerous crustose lichens may also occur. Associates include scattered individuals of <i>Dryopteris intermedia</i> and <i>Polypodium appalachianum</i>.
