Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: Shallow soil woodlands dominated by ~Fraxinus quadrangulata$, sometimes codominated by ~Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana$. These woodlands occur over calcareous rocks. Oaks do not dominate. Other canopy or subcanopy species present may include ~Celtis laevigata, Celtis occidentalis, Cercis canadensis, Ulmus alata$, or ~Ulmus serotina$. Some typical shrubs include ~Forestiera ligustrina, Frangula caroliniana, Hypericum frondosum, Rhus aromatica, Symphoricarpos orbiculatus$, and ~Viburnum rufidulum$. Some herbs which may be present include ~Minuartia patula (= Arenaria patula), Symphyotrichum shortii (= Aster shortii), Astranthium integrifolium, Commelina erecta var. angustifolia, Croton monanthogynus, Euphorbia dentata, Opuntia humifusa, Sedum pulchellum$, and ~Verbesina virginica$. Some vegetation placed here (e.g., ~~Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana - Fraxinus quadrangulata / Symphyotrichum oblongifolium - Panicum flexile - Sedum pulchellum$ Woodland (CEGL004271)$$) may in fact be a mosaic of an herbaceous phase with a prominent grass- or forb-dominated stratum and a more closed phase dominated by ~Juniperus virginiana$ and ~Fraxinus quadrangulata$.
