Name: Selaginella rupestris Appalachian Basic Clubmoss Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: These are low-elevation basic glades of the Southern Appalachians and Brushy Mountains in the western Piedmont. The vegetation consists of shallow mats dominated by <i>Selaginella rupestris</i> and some deeper grassy mats with <i>Schizachyrium scoparium</i>, interspersed with areas of smooth rock or rock with few crevices or fractures. This community has few deep-rooted forbs, shrubs, or trees. The flora is diverse and characterized by the presence of plants indicative of higher pH soils. Woody species may be scattered, rooted in crevices or in marginal zones between exposed rock and adjacent forests.
