Name: Juniperus virginiana / Ranunculus fascicularis Woodland Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: The red-cedar / early buttercup alvar woodland type occurs in Ontario, Canada, and possibly in northern New York on shallow soils over flat limestone outcrops (pavements). This is a woodland community; the trees form a partial canopy with 25-60% cover. Juniperus virginiana is usually the most abundant tree, but Thuja occidentalis may also be present. There are very few shrubs. The ground layer is a mosaic of grassy patches and exposed limestone pavement. Characteristic herbs in the grassy patches include Poa compressa, Ranunculus fascicularis, Sporobolus vaginiflorus, Panicum philadelphicum, Panicum flexile, and Oligoneuron album (= Solidago ptarmicoides). Patches of exposed pavement typically are covered with tufts of mosses, such as Tortella spp,. and lichens.  Accession Code: VB.CC.24430.JUNIPERUSVIRGIN Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
