Description
A description of Scleria ciliata is provided in The Flora of North America.
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
S. ciliata can be found in longleaf pine flatwoods, upland pine forests, longleaf pine/wiregrass/scrub oak pinelands, grassy-scrub margins of depression marshes, open pinewoods, pine ridges between sloughs, longleaf pine-turkey oak sandridges and barrens, pine savannas, sandstone rock outcrops, xeric oak/saw palmetto scrubs, peaty flats bordering lakes, evergreen scrub oak sand ridges, bogs, wet hammocks, young pine plantations, moist meadows, swamp clearings, sandflats, burned old fields, burned palmetto-slashpine woodlands, and lake shores. [1] [2] [3] It can also occur in powerline corridors, open sandy chopped up fields, roadside depressions, turkey oak clearings, grassy pastures with Sarracenia flava, along highways, clearings of pine stands, edges of logging roads, shrub bog clearings, open slashpine flatwoods, mixed hardwood/cabbage palm hammocks, a bulldozed area in scrub-oak barren behind beach, clearings of slash pine flatwoods, along walking trails, and drained clearings of wet hammocks. S. ciliata responds negatively to agricultural-based soil disturbance in South Carolina coastal plains communities.[4] S. ciliata responds negatively to soil disturbance by heavy silvilculture in North Carolina.[5] It responds negatively or not at all to soil disturbance by roller chopping in South Florida.[6]
Soils include dry loamy sand, sand, sandy loam, and silt over clay. [2] Associated species include Sporobolus, Sporobolus junceus, Andropogon, Aristida stricta, Pinus palustris, Eleocharis, Juncus, Cyperus filiculmis, Rhynchospora, Rhynchospora glabularis, Hypericum, Liatris chapmanii, Sarracenia flava, Polygala, Rhexia, Xyris, Panicum, Stillingia aquatica, Ilex, Myrica and Drosera brevifolia. [2]
Scleria ciliata var. ciliata is frequent and abundant in the Peninsula Xeric Sandhills and Panhandle Xeric Sandhills community types as described in Carr et al. (2010).[7]
Phenology
Flowers March through September and fruits March through December. [2]
Seed dispersal
This species is thought to be dispersed by gravity. [8]
Fire ecology
Is found in recently burned longleaf pine habitats. [2] S. ciliata reached its peak abundance in 3-year rough plots, plots which had been last burned 3 growing seasons ago. [1]
