Name: Cystopteris bulbifera - (Asplenium rhizophyllum) Cliff Sparse Vegetation
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This broadly defined type represents sparse vegetation on calcareous rocks and cliff exposures ranging from Kentucky to Virginia and south to Georgia. Examples have substantial cover of bare rock and bryophytes, along with scattered vascular plants. Dominant species may be <i>Cystopteris bulbifera</i> and <i>Asplenium rhizophyllum</i>. An example from the Chattahoochee National Forest contains <i>Heuchera villosa, Adiantum pedatum, Asplenium rhizophyllum, Carex platyphylla, Cystopteris protrusa, Hepatica nobilis var. acuta, Laportea canadensis</i>, and <i>Solidago flexicaulis</i>. Additional species at a similar site in Great Smoky Mountains National Park included <i>Sedum ternatum, Physocarpus opulifolius, Pellaea atropurpurea</i>, and <i>Packera obovata</i>. Additional types may be developed as more information becomes available.
