Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance includes evergreen woodlands dominated by ~Quercus fusiformis$ on sands in the Llano Basin, Texas, over deep soils in limestone canyons of the Edwards Plateau, Texas, and on rocky, granite slopes in the Granite Mountain region of Oklahoma. Composition varies with substrate and precipitation. Canopy cover ranges from open to closed with monospecific mottes of ~Quercus fusiformis$ present in some areas. In Oklahoma and inland Texas, ~Quercus buckleyi, Ulmus crassifolia, Quercus stellata, Juniperus ashei$, and ~Quercus sinuata$ are variously present. Shrubs include ~Rhus$ spp. and ~Condalia$ spp. These woodlands can occur in a mosaic with ~Juniperus ashei$- or ~Prosopis glandulosa$-dominated woodlands or shrublands (shallow soil and disturbed areas) and with grasslands or grassy openings with ~Schizachyrium scoparium, Bouteloua curtipendula$, and ~Hilaria belangeri$.
