Name: Fraxinus quadrangulata - Quercus macrocarpa - Quercus muehlenbergii / Arundinaria gigantea ssp. gigantea / Elymus spp. Woodland Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This historic community was restricted to the Bluegrass Region of Kentucky. The tree layer was dominated by variable mixtures of Fraxinus quadrangulata, Quercus macrocarpa, and Quercus muehlenbergii, with various other species as well, especially Juglans nigra, Aesculus glabra, and Gymnocladus dioicus, and in moister areas Carya laciniosa and Quercus shumardii. Arundinaria gigantea ssp. gigantea was locally dominant, and sometimes very extensive. This type graded locally to Arundinaria-dominated areas with scattered to nearly absent trees [see III.A.2.N.f Arundinaria gigantea Wooded Shrubland Alliance (A.794)]. Shrubs include Symphoricarpos orbiculatus. The herb layer was well-developed in more open areas (probably as a result of fire and bison-browse), with species such as Trifolium stoloniferum, Elymus spp., Ageratina altissima var. altissima, Amphicarpaea bracteata, and possibly Tridens flavus and Poa pratensis?. The presence of Acer saccharum in present vegetation related to this historic type is a symptom of fire suppression.  Accession Code: VB.CC.26042.FRAXINUSQUADRAN Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
