Description
A. villosa is a perennial graminoid in the Poaceae family native to the southeastern United States. [1]
Distribution
A. villosa can be found in a number of southeastern states including Florida, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. [2]
Ecology
Habitat
A. villosa is found in long-leaf pine regions. This grass excels in more exculsively long-leaf pine regions during times of higher levels of needle fall from the canopy. "Brudvig" Brudvig 2015> [Brudvig, L. A., et al. (2015). "The influence of habitat fragmentation on multiple plant-animal interactions and plant reproduction." Ecology 96(10): 2669-2678]</ref>
Mild competition is beneficial to viable seed production for A. villosa, making the species more likely to thrive in a variety of competitive environments. [3]
Seed dispersal
A. villosa is wind-pollinated instead of reliant on insects or other animals for pollination. [4]
Use by animals
A. villosa is a bunchgrass that is used by herbivorous animals. [5]
