Name: Quercus sinuata / Solidago auriculata - Zigadenus nuttallii Mixed Herb Dry-mesic Blackland Ravine Woodland Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This dry-mesic, calcareous, woodland community occurs on slopes and ravines adjacent to blackland prairie on the Upper West Gulf Coastal Plain of Arkansas. Overstory trees are relatively short (to 35 feet) and widely spaced. In fire-maintained examples the overstory is not closed; both the midstory and shrub layers tend to be sparse. The herbaceous layer is predominately forb in composition and moderately dense with little litter build-up. Fire plays a role in maintaining the woodland structure, and fire-suppressed woodlands can have a dense midstory and suppressed herbaceous layer. The dominant tree species is overwhelmingly Quercus sinuata, but other species with calcareous affinities may also be present. The herbaceous layer is dominated by forbs and sedges. Dominant herbaceous species include Symphyotrichum cordifolium (= Aster cordifolius), Carex cherokeensis, Desmodium perplexum (= Desmodium paniculatum var. dillenii), Geum canadense, Helianthus hirsutus, Leersia virginica, and Solidago auriculata.  Accession Code: VB.CC.26564.QUERCUSSINUATAS Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
