Name: Quercus alba / Cornus florida Unglaciated Forest Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This white oak type is found in the Interior Low Plateau and Ozarks region of the midwestern United States. Stands may occur on fairly rich sites with a strong clay component in the soil, or on steep slopes, where soils are silty, well-drained soils formed from cherty limestone. The vegetation is dominated by closed-canopy trees. Historically stands may have had a woodland structure. The vegetation is strongly dominated by Quercus alba. Stands in Illinois and Indiana contain 80-90% Quercus alba, and Quercus prinus and Pinus virginiana are minor components,. In Kansas, associated tree species include Carya cordiformis, Carya ovata, Ostrya virginiana, and Sassafras albidum. Shrubs include Staphylea trifolia and Vaccinium arboreum, and Cornus florida is not very constant.  Accession Code: VB.CC.27460.QUERCUSALBACORN Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
