Name: Quercus alba - Quercus velutina - Carya alba / Desmodium nudiflorum Ozark Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This dry-mesic white oak - hickory forest is found in the Ozark and Ouachita ecoregions of Arkansas and possibly Oklahoma and Missouri. Stands occur in dissected landscapes at moderate elevations (200-550 m [600-1800 feet]), on mid to higher slopes of various aspects, as well as toeslopes of gently convex form. Examples on different aspects vary somewhat in expression; however, the canopy is typically dominated by <i>Quercus alba, Quercus velutina</i>, and <i>Carya alba</i>. <i>Carya glabra</i> is common and <i>Quercus rubra</i> may be found in some examples, particularly on north- and east-facing slopes. The subcanopy may also contain <i>Acer rubrum, Acer saccharum, Amelanchier arborea</i>, and <i>Nyssa sylvatica</i>. <i>Acer rubrum, Cornus florida, Ostrya virginiana</i>, and <i>Vaccinium stamineum</i> may be prominent low shrubs. The herb layer composition may be quite variable depending on aspect, but it is typically dominated by <i>Amphicarpaea bracteata, Desmodium glutinosum, Desmodium nudiflorum, Dichanthelium boscii, Monarda bradburiana, Parthenocissus quinquefolia</i>, and/or <i>Toxicodendron radicans</i>.
