Name: A.1216
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance includes upland coastal prairies of the West Gulf Coastal Plain (and possibly more widespread inland) dominated by ~Muhlenbergia capillaris$. Stands of this alliance occur on rolling to flat upland sites. ~Muhlenbergia capillaris$ is the strong dominant; ~Spartina spartinae$ can also be common. ~Baccharis halimifolia$ may occur as scattered individuals to moderately dense patches as an invader of disturbed or overgrazed sites. As broadly defined, this alliance may actually include areas dominated by ~Muhlenbergia filipes$ or mixtures of ~Muhlenbergia filipes$ and ~Muhlenbergia capillaris$, as well.
