Name: Platanus occidentalis - Juglans major Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This woodland occurs along permanently watered streams and rivers of the western Edwards Plateau of central Texas. Platanus occidentalis and Juglans major dominate the open canopy, which can range patchily from very open to nearly closed. Other canopy trees include Acer grandidentatum and Prunus serotina var. eximia. Typical shrubs include Cephalanthus occidentalis. Herbs are patchy, but sometimes dense, and include Andropogon glomeratus var. pumilus, Panicum virgatum, Verbesina virginica, Muhlenbergia lindheimeri, as well as various species typical of adjacent uplands. Along river segments, this grades into riparian grasslands [see the Panicum virgatum Temporarily Flooded Herbaceous Alliance (A.1343)]. Upslope, it occurs in association with communities of the Quercus laceyi Woodland Alliance (A.616), the Quercus fusiformis Woodland Alliance (A.477), the Quercus muehlenbergii Woodland Alliance (A.621), and the Acer grandidentatum - Quercus buckleyi - Quercus muehlenbergii Forest Alliance (A.215).
