Name: Quercus macrocarpa / Danthonia spicata - (Geum triflorum) Limestone Wooded Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This type is primarily located within Ontario on limestone/dolostone plateaus with shallow soils. These soils are deeper than those typical of alvars, but drier due to areas containing grikes and clints. Vegetation is dominated by a very open Quercus macrocarpa canopy (<10%) with Danthonia spicata and Geum triflorum dominating the understory. It is heavily threatened by fire suppression, which is converting many areas to forest. Other areas have been converted to pasture or limestone quarry sites. Historically, this type was more prevalent along the Trent River, the Flamborough River, and on the Paleozoic Contact Line.  Accession Code: VB.CC.19882.QUERCUSMACROCAR Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
