Description: This woodland occurs within a matrix of coastal grassland. It is characterized by an open, patchy canopy with grass-dominated openings. The overstory is dominated by ~Quercus virginiana$ and ~Carya illinoinensis$ with lesser amounts of ~Celtis laevigata var. laevigata, Quercus stellata$, and ~Ulmus alata$. The understory typically includes ~Ilex vomitoria, Crataegus$ spp., ~Diospyros virginiana$, and ~Sideroxylon$ sp. Common herbaceous species include ~Paspalum plicatulum, Axonopus$ spp., and ~Schizachyrium scoparium$. This alliance typically occurs over heavy-textured, neutral or basic soils on elevated areas within the coastal prairie. It is found in floodplains, but is rarely flooded.
