It can be found on a forest edge or roadside (Boerner 1981). It is adapted to disturbance, including periodic burning (Boerner 1981). It can live in well-drained, acidic, sandy soils (Drewa et al 2006; Harrod et al 2000; Menges and Root 2004). It tolerates xeric conditions (Harrod et al 2000).

===Seed bank and germination===
S. odora var. chapmanii does not seem to form a large persistent seed bank (Menges and Root 2004). However, S. odora had a 12% germination rate in an experiment by Coffey and Kirkman in the second year after burial, showing that the seed bank can persist at least two years (2006). - Between fires, S. odora var. chapmanii can persist as suppressed ramets (a persistent bud bank), which gives can give it an advantage over competitors (Menges and Root 2004).

It thrives in the years post-fire (Harrod et al 2000). Lewis and Harshbarger found out that S. odora responded positively to a wide variety of long-term burning treatments, but best to periodic summer and biennial summer burnings. S. odora was not present in the unburned control plot (1976). After fire, S. odora var. chapmanii can regenerate by seedlings, clonal ramets, or resprouting. It is thought that timing of fires may affect subsequent flowering. Flowering occurred abundantly in most plots during the year following fire, but experienced a marked decline afterwards (Menges and Root 2004).

Habitat

It can be found on a forest edge or roadside (Boerner 1981). It is adapted to disturbance, including periodic burning (Boerner 1981). It can live in well-drained, acidic, sandy soils (Drewa et al 2006; Harrod et al 2000; Menges and Root 2004). It tolerates xeric conditions (Harrod et al 2000). It can be found in longleaf pine savannas (Drewa et al 2006). S. odora var. chapmanii is mostly found in sandhill and scrub communities (Menges and Root 2004). Found within the Coastal Plain (in Mississippi, for this study) where longleaf pine orginially occupied the area (Wahlenberg et al 1939). Found in flatwoods that are mesic, fire-maintained savannas or sparse woodlands with nutrient-poor soils, dominated by longleaf pine (Brewer et al 2003).

Phenology

S. odora var. chapmanii often blooms in late summer and fall (July through October), though some bloom in spring (Menges and Root 2004).

Seed dispersal

It is a wind-dispersed species (Boerner 1981).

Seed bank and germination

S. odora var. chapmanii does not seem to form a large persistent seed bank (Menges and Root 2004). However, S. odora had a 12% germination rate in an experiment by Coffey and Kirkman in the second year after burial, showing that the seed bank can persist at least two years (2006). - Between fires, S. odora var. chapmanii can persist as suppressed ramets (a persistent bud bank), which gives can give it an advantage over competitors (Menges and Root 2004).

Fire ecology

It thrives in the years post-fire (Harrod et al 2000). Lewis and Harshbarger found out that S. odora responded positively to a wide variety of long-term burning treatments, but best to periodic summer and biennial summer burnings. S. odora was not present in the unburned control plot (1976). After fire, S. odora var. chapmanii can regenerate by seedlings, clonal ramets, or resprouting. It is thought that timing of fires may affect subsequent flowering. Flowering occurred abundantly in most plots during the year following fire, but experienced a marked decline afterwards (Menges and Root 2004).

Use by animals

Many herbivores, including certain species of beetles, moths, rodents, and rabbits, feed on S. odora var. chapmanii (Menges and Root 2004). Deyrup (2002) observed these bees, Colletes mandibularis, Perdita graenicheri, Agapostemon splendens, Augochlorella aurata, Augochloropsis metallica, A. sumptuosa, Diialictus coreopsis, D. nymphalis, D. placidensis, Halictus ligatus, Sphecodes heraclei, Dianthidium floridiense, Megachile albitarsis, M. mendica, M. texana, Apis mellifera, on Solidago odora var. chapmanii.
