Name: Quercus alba - Quercus stellata - Quercus velutina / Schizachyrium scoparium Woodland Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This white oak - post oak woodland community is found in the Ozarks and adjacent regions of the United States. Stands occur on gentle to steep hills, plains, ridges, and flats of all aspects. The soils are well- to very rapidly drained, and very shallow to deep (0-100 cm). The parent material is chert, sandstone, or igneous with areas of bedrock or rock residuum present at the surface. This woodland community has 20-60% tree canopy cover, which is short to medium in height (7-20 m) and dominated by species such as Crataegus spp., Pinus echinata, Quercus alba, Quercus marilandica, Quercus stellata, and Quercus velutina. The trees are often limby or shrubby in areas of sparse cover where bedrock is exposed. When an understory is present it is variable, consisting of a mosaic of scattered shrubs or groups of small trees. Shrubs include Rhus aromatica, Vaccinium arboreum, and Vaccinium pallidum. The ground cover is dominated by grasses such as Andropogon gerardii, Schizachyrium scoparium, and Sorghastrum nutans, with sparse to mixed forbs. Mosses and lichens are often present.  Accession Code: VB.CC.21960.QUERCUSALBAQUER Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
