Name: Juniperus ashei Dry Chalk Outcrop Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association includes Juniperus ashei woodlands, occurring on chalk bluffs in the Coastal Plain of Arkansas. This community is a linear feature on tops of 90- to 100-foot high bluffs, over very thin alkaline soils. Quercus sinuata var. breviloba, a deciduous oak, is a characteristic associated species that occurs as a stunted tree or large shrub. Either Juniperus ashei or Quercus sinuata may be locally dominant within an occurrence. Other associated species may include Quercus prinoides, Fraxinus quadrangulata and Ulmus alata. This woodland grades into areas supporting unique Blackland Prairie communities and may contain species from these adjacent areas.
