Name: Quercus fusiformis / Schizachyrium scoparium Woodland Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This community occurs on gently sloping to nearly flat slopes in the eastern Edwards Plateau of central Texas and apparently also in Oklahoma. Quercus fusiformis is the canopy dominant, occurring from locally dense mottes to very open woodland (savanna) structure. With fire suppression, grazing, and other disturbances, Juniperus ashei has increased and forms a dense lower tree stratum in many sites. Other characteristic shrubs and small trees include Diospyros texana, Mahonia trifoliolata, Celtis laevigata var. reticulata. Schizachyrium scoparium var. scoparium is typically the dominant grass, often admixed with Bouteloua rigidiseta, Bouteloua curtipendula, Bouteloua hirsuta var. pectinata (= Bouteloua pectinata), Aristida purpurascens, and Nassella leucotricha. Other herbs include Chaetopappa bellidifolia, Evolvulus sericeus, Lygodesmia sp., and others.  Accession Code: VB.CC.18104.QUERCUSFUSIFORM Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
