Name: Quercus rubra - (Acer saccharum, Quercus alba) Forest Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This community is found in the northern prairie-forest border region of the United States and farther east to Ohio. Tree canopy dominance is variable, but the major dominant present is Quercus rubra. Other associates may include Acer saccharum, Quercus alba, and Ulmus americana. The subcanopy and sapling layers often contain Prunus virginiana or Prunus serotina. This type is poorly understood, but may represent a successional type in the prairie-forest border region shifting from oak dominance to maple, basswood and elm dominance. The type is restricted to the central midwestern region and extreme southern Ontario, and is not found in northern Minnesota, northern Wisconsin, northern Michigan, or central Ontario.  Accession Code: VB.CC.23990.QUERCUSRUBRAACE Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
