Name: Quercus falcata - Carya illinoinensis / Silphium integrifolium - Panicum anceps - (Carex cherokeensis) Mesic Wooded Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This mesic blackland savanna community occurs in areas of deep, moist soil usually on nearly level or gentle terrain on the Upper West Gulf Coastal Plain of Arkansas. The trees are medium-tall to 45 feet, with large spreading crowns. Basal area average 25 square feet per acre with 25 stems over 2 inches dbh per acre. The herbaceous vegetation is tall (6+ feet) and dense. Dominant tree species include Quercus falcata and Carya illinoinensis. High- or medium-quality examples of this savanna do not exist; typical herbaceous vegetation would likely be similar to the adjacent Sorghastrum nutans - Schizachyrium scoparium - Echinacea pallida - Dalea purpurea var. purpurea dry-mesic and Sorghastrum nutans - Andropogon glomeratus - Lythrum alatum - Symphyotrichum puniceum - Tripsacum dactyloides mesic blackland prairie herbaceous vegetation which it grades into. A large example is known from Grandview Prairie. The type location is in Hempstead County, Arkansas. Other examples likely occur in Howard County, Arkansas.  Accession Code: VB.CC.26356.QUERCUSFALCATAC Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
