Name: Quercus stellata - Quercus velutina / Schizachyrium scoparium Woodland Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This post oak - black oak woodland type occurs in the glaciated central tallgrass region of the United States. Stands occur on dry narrow ridges and steep slopes of glaciated ridges, or on rolling topography that was prone to fires. The open-tree canopy is dominated by Quercus stellata and Quercus velutina, with minor associates of Carya alba (= Carya tomentosa) and Carya ovata. Saplings of Sassafras albidum and Prunus serotina may be present. The herbaceous layer probably contained a fairly diverse mix of prairie and forest flora, with prairie grasses, such as Schizachyrium scoparium, abundant. Few sites remain on which to describe this type, and historically, it may have been maintained by frequent fires.  Accession Code: VB.CC.26466.QUERCUSSTELLATA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
