Name: Pinus echinata - Quercus stellata - Quercus marilandica / Schizachyrium scoparium Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This shortleaf pine - oak woodland is found in the Ozark/Ouachita region of the United States. Stands occur along ridges and on upper south- to southwest-facing slopes. The vegetation contains an open canopy dominated by Pinus echinata codominating with Quercus stellata and Quercus marilandica, either singly or in combination. Pinus echinata may form an emergent canopy over the oaks. Common woody associates include Carya texana, Quercus velutina, and Diospyros virginiana. Grassy openings are dominated by Schizachyrium scoparium. Other abundant herbs include Baptisia bracteata, Helianthus hirsutus, Liatris aspera, Solidago nemoralis, Solidago petiolaris, and Tephrosia virginiana. This type represents the driest shortleaf pine - oak communities in the Ozarks.
