Description:
This association covers wet-mesic to seasonally inundated perennial deep soil grasslands of the southeastern Highland Rim of Tennessee and possibly related areas of Kentucky. This vegetation is dominated by <i>Andropogon glomeratus, Andropogon gerardii, Panicum virgatum, Sorghastrum nutans</i>, and <i>Schizachyrium scoparium (var. scoparium</i> and <i>var. divergens)</i>, in patches of various combinations and percent covers depending on degree of wetness. Wettest areas are dominated by <i>Andropogon glomeratus</i>, which also indicates some of the southern geographical affinities of this association. Additional common graminoid species include <i>Aristida purpurascens var. virgata, Calamagrostis coarctata, Chasmanthium laxum, Dichanthelium aciculare, Dichanthelium dichotomum, Dichanthelium scoparium, Eleocharis microcarpa, Gymnopogon brevifolius, Panicum anceps, Panicum verrucosum</i>, and <i>Rhynchospora glomerata</i>. Important nongraminoids include <i>Helianthus angustifolius, Eupatorium pilosum, Eupatorium rotundifolium, Lespedeza capitata, Apios americana, Pycnanthemum muticum, Symphyotrichum dumosum, Smilax rotundifolia, Smilax glauca, Solidago odora, Solidago rugosa, Potentilla simplex, Pteridium aquilinum, Osmunda regalis</i>, and <i>Acer rubrum</i>.
