Name: Quercus muehlenbergii - Quercus (alba, velutina) Bluff Woodland Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This chinquapin oak woodland type occurs primarily on bluffs of large rivers in the midwestern United States. Stands occur in scattered areas along steep southwest-facing bluffs or slopes, particularly on the Mississippi River. Presumably the underlying soils and bedrock have a calcareous influence. Stands contain an open tree layer, with Quercus muehlenbergii as the characteristic dominant, and Quercus alba, Quercus velutina, Quercus macrocarpa, and Juniperus virginiana as common associates. Cornus racemosa may be common in the shrub layer. The ground layer may contain a dry to dry-mesic prairie flora, but little is known about this type and few stands are available for characterization.  Accession Code: VB.CC.27654.QUERCUSMUEHLENB Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
