Description

Common Name: Maryland goldenaster

Distribution

Ecology

Habitat

It can live in humid and mild climates with plenty of rainfall throughout the year. It can tolerate temperatures ranging from 3 to 33 degrees Celsius. It is found in abundance in longleaf pine communities.[1]. Chrysopsis mariana is restricted to native groundcover with a statistical affinity in upland pinelands of South Georgia (Ostertag and Robertson 2007).

Phenology

It flowers in the fall.[2]

Seed dispersal

It is dispersed by the wind.[2]

Seed bank and germination

Fire ecology

It is tolerant of fire.[1]

Pollination

Use by animals

Diseases and parasites

Conservation and Management
