Name: Juniperus virginiana Alkaline Bluff Woodland
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This red-cedar alkaline bluff woodland type occurs in the Ozarks region of the United States. Stands may have been of minimal extent on blufftops of the White River region in southwestern Missouri. Soils are rapidly drained, very shallow (0-40 cm), and occur over cherty limestone or dolomite, or with bedrock partially exposed at the surface. The vegetation contains an open-tree canopy, sometimes clumped or irregular due to the exposed bedrock. The shrubby or viney layer may or may not be present. Along bluffs, the herbaceous layer is variable. Tree dominants include Juniperus virginiana, with occasional hardwoods, such as Quercus muehlenbergii or Fraxinus americana. Ground layer dominants include Schizachyrium scoparium, Sorghastrum nutans, and Bouteloua curtipendula.
