Habitat
Cyperus filiculmis is found mainly in sandy soils, both wet and dry, including drying loamy sand, coarse sand, and moist sandy-peaty soil (FSU Herbarium). It prefers unshaded open sites, and occurs in longleaf pine-wiregrass flatwoods and longleaf pine-turkey oak sand ridges. Disturbed habitat includes power line corridors, clear-cuts, and bulldozed or logged sites (FSU Herbarium).
