Name: Quercus macrocarpa Wooded Medium-Tall Herbaceous Alliance Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This alliance, found in the northern Great Plains, is a mixedgrass savanna. Mid grasses and tall grasses dominate the vegetation. Scattered and clumped trees and shrubs are always present, but both strata have less than 25% cover. Andropogon gerardii, Carex pensylvanica, Schizachyrium scoparium, and Sorghastrum nutans are abundant herbaceous species. Quercus macrocarpa is the most common tree and may be the only tree species in some stands. Corylus spp. and Symphoricarpos occidentalis are typical shrubs. Stands of this alliance occur on sandy lacustrine and glacial outwash deposits reworked by wind, on shale, and on glacial till. Soils are relatively infertile and excessively well-drained.  Accession Code: VB.CC.20883.QUERCUSMACROCAR Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
