Name: Carex biltmoreana - Pycnanthemum spp. - Krigia montana Grassland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This community is restricted to granitic outcrops in the Southern Appalachians, south of Asheville, North Carolina, and south to Georgia. This association is found on sloping exfoliation surfaces with generally 10-80% cover of vascular plants. Stands are dominated by <i>Carex biltmoreana</i>. Scattered woody plants may be within an occurrence. Other characteristic species include <i>Krigia montana, Houstonia longifolia, Schizachyrium scoparium, Diervilla sessilifolia, Melampyrum lineare, Ambrosia artemisiifolia, Coreopsis pubescens, Coreopsis major, Dichanthelium dichotomum var. dichotomum, Dichanthelium acuminatum var. lindheimeri, Pycnanthemum beadlei, Symphyotrichum patens var. patens, Heuchera villosa, Fraxinus americana, Sassafras albidum</i>, and <i>Saxifraga michauxii</i>. This community occupies seasonal or temporary seepage over rock, and is moister than <i>Selaginella tortipila</i> communities, which can occur on the same mountains, or sometimes, even in juxtaposition. This community occurs as small patches (typically less than 10 acres) within a forested matrix.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:33309-{461D9B20-767C-49D4-A6C1-19B2C57DD335} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 8
