Name: Populus tremuloides - Quercus (ellipsoidalis, macrocarpa) / Andropogon gerardii Shrubland
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This scrub aspen - oak community type occurs in the upper midwestern United States in the pine barrens region of Wisconsin. Stands occur on sandy, somewhat acid soils. Frequent fires reduce the woody vegetation to a scrub layer. The vegetation is comprised of a scrubby, fire-tolerant woody layer between 1 and 3 m tall, with a rich herbaceous layer. The scrub or brush layer contains Quercus macrocarpa, Quercus ellipsoidalis and Populus tremuloides. Various shrub species may also occur, including Corylus americana, Gaylussacia baccata, Rosa spp., Vaccinium angustifolium, and Salix spp. The herbaceous layer resembles that of open pine barrens, with species such as Comptonia peregrina, Gaultheria procumbens, Pteridium aquilinum, and other prairie forbs present.
