Name: Acer grandidentatum - Quercus muehlenbergii / Carex edwardsiana Lampasas Cutplain Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association includes mesic canyon forests of the Lampasas Cutplain, in the northeastern Edwards Plateau, in Bell and Coryell counties, Texas. The canopy is dominated by mixtures of Acer grandidentatum, Quercus muehlenbergii, Quercus buckleyi, Juglans major, Prunus serotina var. eximia, Fraxinus texensis, and Juniperus ashei. The shrub stratum is diverse, including many species common in the surrounding landscape, as well as species more characteristic of this community, such as Lindera benzoin, Styrax platanifolius ssp. platanifolius, Ungnadia speciosa, Frangula caroliniana, Cornus drummondii, and (abundantly in some examples) Croton alabamensis var. texensis. The herb stratum is dominated by Carex edwardsiana. Other characteristic species include Bromus pubescens, Festuca versuta, Sanicula canadensis, Aquilegia canadensis, Galium circaezans, and Verbesina virginica var. virginica. Adjacent slopes are often dominated by oak - juniper woodlands.
