Name: Quercus stellata - Quercus marilandica - Carya (glabra, texana) / Vaccinium arboreum Forest Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This post oak - blackjack oak forest is found most commonly in the Interior Highlands and Interior Low Plateau regions. Stands occurs in isolated patches on dry, rapidly drained, shallow soils. Bedrock can be sandstone, chert, or igneous material, and rock fragments, cobbles, or boulders are commonly strewn over the surface. This forest is best developed on south- and west-facing slopes and ridgetops of steep-walled valleys and canyons. Typical tree species dominants include Quercus stellata, mixed with a variety of other oaks, including Quercus marilandica, Quercus alba, Quercus falcata, and Quercus velutina. The tree canopy is short (20-50 feet), slow-growing, and open. Tree crowns are spreading, open, and limby. The understory is poorly developed and consists of widely scattered shrubs. Typical species include Vaccinium arboreum, Amelanchier arborea, and Ostrya virginiana. Herbaceous cover is sparse, and mosses and lichens are abundant. In Kentucky, common herbaceous species include Tephrosia virginiana, Euphorbia corollata, and Danthonia spicata. In Arkansas, herbaceous species include Carex umbellata and Carex hirsutella.  Accession Code: VB.CC.26396.QUERCUSSTELLATA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
