Name: (Pinus strobus, Quercus rubra) / Danthonia spicata Acidic Bedrock Scrub Grassland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This acidic bedrock glade and woodland occurs in the Upper Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada. These glades occupy upper portions above the granitic bedrock shorelines or on rocky openings. Shrubs and scattered trees dominate the woody canopy layers; the tree canopy may approach woodland physiognomy. Trees include <i>Betula papyrifera, Pinus banksiana, Pinus resinosa, Pinus strobus</i>, and <i>Quercus rubra</i>. The shrub layer contains <i>Diervilla lonicera, Juniperus communis</i>, and, less frequently, <i>Physocarpus opulifolius</i>. The dwarf-shrub <i>Arctostaphylos uva-ursi</i> may also be present. The herbaceous layer contains <i>Agrostis hyemalis, Campanula rotundifolia, Danthonia spicata, Deschampsia cespitosa, Chamerion angustifolium, Poa compressa, Sibbaldiopsis tridentata</i>, and <i>Vaccinium angustifolium</i>. Other common herbaceous species include <i>Maianthemum canadense, Melampyrum lineare, Oryzopsis asperifolia, Pteridium aquilinum</i>, and <i>Trientalis borealis</i>. Moss and lichen cover may be substantial.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:33866-{3E706352-F431-4CB9-BFA6-31CE9959D0F7} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 7
