Name: Panicum virgatum - Tripsacum dactyloides Grand Prairie/Big Barrens Grassland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This wet-mesic to wet grassland type is poorly defined at present and may require redefinition or subdivision as more information becomes available. It represents vegetation of this alliance found in the Grand Prairie Subsection of Arkansas and related areas of the Mississippi River Alluvial Basin Section, as well as the Big Barrens of Kentucky. It may also be found in related areas of the Upper West Gulf Coastal Plain; this needs to be reviewed. Examples would be dominated by <i>Panicum virgatum</i> and <i>Tripsacum dactyloides</i>. This vegetation could occur in poorly drained flats, or possibly in shallow sloughs and ditches. More information is needed. In disturbed landscapes, the nominal species may be found scattered in ditches; this may indicate that the type was formerly present and has been locally extirpated. This association may need to be split or redefined as more information becomes available.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:33408-{85D3DC34-1117-4AB2-8E39-310605C27792} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
