Name: Quercus rubra - Quercus alba - (Quercus velutina, Acer rubrum) / Viburnum acerifolium Forest
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This dry to dry-mesic oak forest community is found in the central regions of the Great Lakes in the United States and Canada. Stands typically occur on well-drained sandy and sandy loam moraines, ice-contact topography, and fine-textured glacial lakebeds. The overstory contains Quercus rubra, Quercus alba, Acer rubrum and, less frequently Pinus strobus, Populus grandidentata, and Quercus velutina. The sapling layer contains Prunus serotina and Ostrya virginiana, with Acer rubrum or Acer saccharum. Shrubs include Amelanchier spp. and Viburnum acerifolium. The herbaceous layer contains Aralia nudicaulis, Eurybia macrophylla (= Aster macrophyllus), Desmodium glutinosum, Desmodium nudiflorum, Maianthemum canadense, and Trientalis borealis. Further work is needed to characterize this type rangewide.
