Name: Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana - Forestiera ligustrina - Rhus aromatica - Hypericum frondosum Shrubland Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This shrubland is a zonal component of Central Basin (Tennessee) limestone cedar glades; also found on limestone outcrops of Alabama Cumberland Plateau and Moulton Valley glade systems, as well as on the Pennyroyal Karst Plain of Kentucky. Characteristic shrubs include Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana, Rhus aromatica var. aromatica, Frangula caroliniana, Forestiera ligustrina, Berchemia scandens, Hypericum frondosum, Sideroxylon lycioides, and stunted individuals of Acer saccharum, Quercus muehlenbergii, Quercus shumardii, Fraxinus americana, and Ulmus alata. Alabama occurrences may contain an occasional Aesculus pavia. A low 'herbaceous' stratum is dominated by Cheilanthes lanosa, Pleurochaete squarrosa, Thuidium delicatulum, Climacium americanum, Cladonia spp., and Opuntia humifusa. Typically grades into open, herbaceous-dominated glades, or into woodlands or forests commonly dominated by Quercus muehlenbergii, Fraxinus americana, and Celtis laevigata. The substrate consists of broken fragments of flat-bedded sedimentary limestone, with accumulations of shallow soil. Alabama and Kentucky occurrences are rare and of restricted distribution and limited extent.  Accession Code: VB.CC.22330.JUNIPERUSVIRGIN Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
