Name: Andropogon capillipes - Panicum tenerum - Dichanthelium wrightianum Wet Grassland Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: The vegetation of this alliance is codominated by, or at least contains, <i>Andropogon capillipes</i> with a combination of low shrubs and herbaceous plants. Examples occur in seasonally flooded depressional wetlands as well as temporarily flooded interdune swales and related habitats in the Southeastern Coastal Plain of the United States. In addition to <i>Andropogon capillipes</i>, examples may contain <i>Dichanthelium wrightianum</i> and <i>Fuirena scirpoidea</i> (which are characteristic), as well as a number of <i>Rhynchospora</i> spp., including <i>Rhynchospora cephalantha, Rhynchospora corniculata, Rhynchospora filifolia, Rhynchospora latifolia</i>, and <i>Rhynchospora tracyi</i>. The interdune swales are typically dominated by the shrub <i>Hypericum tenuifolium</i>. Other typical species include <i>Andropogon capillipes</i> ("dryland variant"), <i>Licania michauxii, Polygonella gracilis, Serenoa repens, Xyris caroliniana</i>, and the lichens <i>Cladonia leporina</i> and <i>Cladonia prostrata</i>. These associated taxa are somewhat variable among these habitats. In the depressions, hydrology varies from short flooding to long-duration seasonal flooding. These depressions are of various origins, including limesink ponds, interdune swales, Carolina bays, and other coastal plain ponds and lakes. Although this vegetation generally presents a very xeric appearance, the occasional flooding maintains its open aspect compared to dense scrub upslope.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:38901-{ED8D16D6-F566-4787-8D27-121EEAD411E6} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
