Name: Quercus alba - Carya alba / Ostrya virginiana / Carex pensylvanica - Schizachyrium scoparium Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This is a dry to dry-mesic oak - hickory forest of sandstone plateaus of the Arkansas River Valley Section, Magazine Mountain Subsection of Arkansas. The short (8-m) canopy is dominated by Quercus alba and Carya alba, with possibly some Quercus rubra. Ostrya virginiana dominates the subcanopy; Chionanthus virginicus is also present. Vaccinium stamineum may be a prominent low shrub in some examples. Due to relatively harsh edaphic conditions associated with this type, the canopy is short-statured, and grasses are prominent in the herbaceous stratum; these include Schizachyrium scoparium, Andropogon gerardii, Carex pensylvanica, and Dichanthelium boscii. Other herbaceous species include Porteranthus stipulatus, Symphyotrichum undulatum? (= Aster undulatus?), Solidago ulmifolia, and Helianthus hirsutus. More information is needed on the detailed floristics of this association. It is noteworthy for its short stature and the grass/graminoid-dominated herbaceous layer.  Accession Code: VB.CC.21754.QUERCUSALBACARY Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
