Name: Quercus buckleyi Forest Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This alliance consists of Quercus buckleyi-dominated vegetation of xeric to mesic slopes over calcareous soils of the eastern and southern Edwards Plateau and Lampasas Cut Plain, in central Texas and in the Arbuckle Mountains in southern Oklahoma. Associated canopy species include Ulmus crassifolia, Celtis laevigata var. laevigata, Celtis laevigata var. reticulata, Quercus fusiformis, Quercus muehlenbergii, Quercus sinuata var. breviloba, Juniperus ashei, Prunus serotina var. eximia, and Fraxinus texensis. On the Edwards Plateau of Texas, adjacent to Quercus buckleyi Forest, on deeper soils, are Quercus fusiformis Woodlands, while Juniperus ashei Woodlands occupy the drier slopes. Floodplains below Quercus buckleyi Forests of the Edwards Plateau are dominated by Celtis laevigata, Ulmus americana, Carya illinoinensis, and Quercus fusiformis.
