Name: Danthonia spicata - Deschampsia flexuosa - Deschampsia cespitosa Bedrock Grassland Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This alliance, ranging from the Great Lakes to the Appalachian Mountains, is characterized by acidic or serpentine bedrock outcrops supporting dry, patchy grasslands usually dominated by <i>Danthonia spicata, Deschampsia flexuosa, Poa compressa, Schizachyrium scoparium</i>, or <i>Deschampsia cespitosa</i>. It also includes mafic bedrock outcrops also characterized by these grasses but also supporting ferns and forbs such as <i>Asplenium trichomanes, Adiantum aleuticum</i>, and <i>Cerastium arvense</i>. The combination of sloping sites and thin soil lead to poor water retention and droughty conditions.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:39120-{F5FFB847-6BAB-4154-9C45-916DC070B4D6} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
