Type Concept: Widespread, and quite likely resulting from prior human disturbance, the "savanna" of Micronesia is most dominant on volcanic substrates, such as the southern portion of Guam. Dominant grasses and sedges include Micranthus floridulus, Heteropogon contortus, Dimeria, Fimbristilis, Scleria, and Rhynchospora. Ferns and related plants include Dicranopteris linearis, Lycopodium cernuum, Cheilanthes tenuifolia, Lygodium scandens, and Blechnum orientale. Scattered shrubs of Scaevola and seedlings and saplings of Casuarina equisetifolia are present across the grassland.
