Name: Quercus stellata - Quercus muehlenbergii / Schizachyrium scoparium - Sorghastrum nutans Black Belt Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This Black Belt woodland has an open canopy dominated by Quercus stellata, Quercus muehlenbergii, and Quercus marilandica. Other typical canopy species include Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana, Quercus falcata, Fraxinus americana, Carya alba, and Carya glabra. Canopy closure is highly variable, ranging from open or even scattered, to closed. Presumably this association was more open in the past, with more frequent burning. Typical shrubs include Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana and Frangula caroliniana. Schizachyrium scoparium and Sorghastrum nutans are the principal herbs. This community occurs in the Black Belt (Selma Chalk) area of Alabama and Mississippi.
