Distribution

Ecology

Habitat

In the Coastal Plain in Florida and Georgia, S. tortifolia has been found in loamy sand around upper boarder of seasonally wet depression in a longleaf pine community; pine flatwoods; bordering slash pine plantations in deep sandy soil; next to sandy ridge; sandy soil bordering a mixed forest; scrub oak sand ridge; pond-pine flatwoods; sand pine scrub; longleaf pine-wiregrass scrub oak ridge; open boggy slope; border of live oak hammock near a river; fallow field on a sandy ridge; longleaf pine-wiregrass flat pineland.[1] In disturbed habitats, it has been found in loamy sand among roadside grasses; wet powerline corridors; sandy loam among rock ledges; sandy clearings; banks of swale between highway and railway; and railroad banks.[1]

Associated species include Aster concolor, Helianthus radula, Pityopsis graminifolia, Ceanothus microphyllus, Baptisia simplicifolia, Aster linarifolia, Eupatorium rotundifolium, Silphium compositifolium, Angelica dentata, Aster adnatus, Ilex glabra, and Sericocarpus tortifolius.[1]

Phenology

It has been recorded flowering and fruiting January through November.[1][2]

Seed dispersal

This species is thought to be dispersed by wind.[3]

Fire ecology

Populations of Solidago tortifolia have been known to persist through repeated annual burning.[4]


Herbivory and toxicology
