Name: Quercus velutina - (Quercus ellipsoidalis) - Quercus alba / Deschampsia flexuosa Woodland
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This oak woodland type is found in the upper midwestern United States and Canada, particularly in central Michigan and Ontario. Stands occur on excessively well-drained sands of outwash plains. Soil development is minimal, with a thin A horizon (5-10 cm). The canopy is open. Dominant species include Quercus alba, Quercus ellipsoidalis, and Quercus velutina. Pinus banksiana and Pinus strobus are common associates. The ground layer consists of a near continuous mat of Carex pensylvanica and Deschampsia flexuosa. Other species present include Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, Comptonia peregrina, Chimaphila umbellata, and Pteridium aquilinum. Andropogon gerardii and Schizachyrium scoparium may occasionally occur in this type.
