Bouteloua hirsuta - (Muhlenbergia filipes) Herbaceous Vegetation » more details

This is the main coastal grassland community on Cayo Costa and North Captiva islands and formerly on Sanibel Island, Lee County, Florida, dominated by Bouteloua hirsuta, which forms a dense sod excluding, for the most part, the more typical coastal grasses, such as Muhlenbergia filipes, Schizachyrium spp., and Spartina patens. This community may also have occurred on Gasparilla Island (immediately to the north of Cayo Costa) where Bouteloua hirsuta is now known only from an abandoned golf course. Other characteristic species include Ernodea littoralis, Chiococca parvifolia (= Chiococca pinetorum), Lantana depressa var. sanibelensis, Trichostema [sp. nov. ined.], Opuntia stricta, Dodonaea viscosa, Cnidoscolus stimulosus, and Aristida patula. Dispersed throughout the grassland are shrub islands of Sabal palmetto surrounded by tropical shrubs such as Jacquinia keyensis, Myrsine floridana (= Rapanea punctata), Chiococca alba, and Forestiera segregata. |

Vegetation within this alliance occurs on cliff crevices, ledges, open slopes, and meadows above timberline. Elevations range from 3000-3600 m. Communities occur on sites with heavy snow accumulations, typically on north-, northeast-, or east-facing slopes that range in slope from 2-36%. Carex pyrenaica requires the longest snow cover; therefore, occurrences are located next to places where snow lasts the longest. Soils are poorly developed, with thin A horizons. Average pH is 5.9 for stands in the Front Range of Colorado. Vegetation types within this alliance are classified as short alpine or subalpine dry bunch grasslands. Carex pyrenaica dominates the herbaceous layer with Erigeron melanocephalus. Other constants are Juncus drummondii and Antennaria alpina. Polytrichum piliferum is a constant in the moss layer as well as Pohlia obtusifolia. |

Ammophila breviligulata - (Schizachyrium scoparium) Herbaceous Vegetation » more details

This beachgrass dune community occurs along the Great Lakes shores region of the United States and Canada on stabilized foredunes. Component plant communities vary from sparsely vegetated, active dunes to communities dominated by grasses, shrubs, and trees, depending on the degree of sand deposition, sand erosion, and distance from the lake. Depositional areas, where Great Lakes beachgrass foredunes are found, are dominated by Ammophila breviligulata (or in the eastern part of the range Ammophila champlainensis); erosional areas, such as slacks in blowouts and dune fields, by Calamovilfa longifolia; and stabilized areas by Schizachyrium scoparium. In dune fields and on the most stable dune ridges, especially around northern Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, low evergreen shrubs (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, Juniperus communis, Juniperus horizontalis) occupy dune crests and also the ground layer in the savanna edge of dunes; elsewhere, deciduous shrubs are dominant, including Prunus pumila, Salix cordata and Salix myricoides (= Salix glaucophylloides). These two shrubby phases are separated from this open grassland type, but could be treated as phases of this type. |
