Name: Andropogon gerardii - Panicum (anceps, virgatum) Grassland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: These mesic deep-soil perennial grasslands of the southern Ridge and Valley of Tennessee are best developed along the margins of small streams and on lower, sheltered slopes. This vegetation is dominated by <i>Andropogon gerardii, Panicum virgatum</i>, and <i>Panicum anceps</i>, in patches of various combinations and percent covers depending on slope position. It also contains <i>Dichanthelium</i> spp. and diverse forbs. Some examples are maintained by mechanical clearing of powerline rights-of-way. A slightly drier community which may occur adjacent to this one is ~<i>Schizachyrium scoparium - Sorghastrum nutans - Silphium</i> spp. Grassland (CEGL007932)$$. More information is needed on the detailed floristics of this type and its relation to related vegetation in other nearby ecoregions.
