Name: Dichanthelium scoparium - Boehmeria cylindrica / Sphagnum spp. - Polytrichum commune Seepage Meadow
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: These acidic hillside seeps of the southeastern Oklahoma Coastal Plain are herbaceous wetlands formed over beds of decaying vegetable matter, which is loosely consolidated and contains so much water that the surface shakes under foot. These communities occur mainly on the Antlers Sand Formation and are characterized by their topographic position at the base of slopes and on the sides of sandhills. The seep community is dissected by slowly flowing water or small stagnant pools. The composition of stands of this type is variable, but is characterized by dominance by a variety of grasses, sedges, and aster family members. <i>Dichanthelium scoparium</i> is characteristic. This or related vegetation may also be found in sandy or peaty depressions.
