Name: (Quercus montana) / Vaccinium pallidum / Schizachyrium scoparium - Danthonia spicata / Cladonia spp. Scrub Grassland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This type is found on gently to moderately sloping outcrops of felsic rocks with irregular or undulating surfaces but few crevices, and is characterized predominantly by graminoids and low shrubs in fairly shallow soil mats. It includes drier examples where <i>Schizachyrium scoparium, Danthonia</i> spp., or other dry-site grasses predominate. This community is distinguished by the predominance of somewhat deeper soil mats, capable of supporting grasses. Grassy mats and low-shrub patches are prominent, but lichen-covered bare rock and thin mats dominated by <i>Selaginella</i> spp. are often present. Trees may be dispersed throughout the community. This type is similar to a granitic dome, but it has more soil, less exposed bedrock, and the vegetation is more stable  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:33758-{EE90A39D-2817-4CF4-A15B-5AD7AD909730} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 4
