Name: Sporobolus neglectus - Sporobolus vaginiflorus Alkaline Bedrock Annual Grassland Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance consists of annual graminoid-dominated vegetation found on shale, calcareous (limestone and dolostone) and mafic (diabase) glades in the unglaciated southeastern United States, not including similar vegetation on outcrops in the Coastal Plain. These glades are dominated by the annual grasses <i>Sporobolus neglectus, Sporobolus vaginiflorus var. vaginiflorus</i>, and/or <i>Sporobolus vaginiflorus var. ozarkanus</i>. Other annual grasses and forbs are often prominent as well. This vegetation is dominated by early-flowering species that complete their life cycles before the glades dry up in the early summer, as well as fall-flowering annual grasses (e.g., <i>Sporobolus clandestinus</i>).
