Description
A. villosa is a perennial graminoid in the Poaceae family native to the southeastern United States. [1]
Distribution
A. villosa can be found in a number of southeastern states including Florida, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. [2]
Ecology
Habitat
A. villosa is found in long-leaf pine regions. This grass excels in more exculsively long-leaf pine regions during times of higher levels of needle fall from the canopy. [3]
Mild competition is beneficial to viable seed production for A. villosa, making the species more likely to thrive in a variety of competitive environments. [4]
Seed dispersal
A. villosa is wind-pollinated instead of reliant on insects or other animals for pollination. [5]
Use by animals
A. villosa is a bunchgrass that is used by herbivorous animals. [6]
