Description
S. pauciflora is a perennial graminoid of the Cyperaceae family that is native to North America.[1]
Distribution
S. pauciflora is found in the majority of the western United States; Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Ohio, Tennessee. Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, as well as Ontario, Canada.[1]
Ecology
Habitat
S. pauciflora is found in habitats such as wet and dry pine flatwoods, pine savannas, and depression meadows.[2] Specimens have been taken from boggy riverbanks, slashpine woods, pine flatwoods, disturbed pine scrub, open old field, oak-pine woods, longleaf pine savanna, roadside ditches, and wet rocky soils.[3] Scleria pauciflora is frequent and abundant in the Calcareous Savannas community type as described in Carr et al. (2010).[4]
Fire ecology
Populations of Scleria pauciflora have been known to persist through repeated annual burns.[5]
Conservation, cultivation, and restoration
S. pauciflora is classified as endangered in Massachusetts and Michigan. It is considered threatened in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island.[1]
