Name: Quercus falcata - Quercus (coccinea, stellata) / Schizachyrium scoparium Woodland Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This is an oak-dominated woodland found in the Appalachian region of Kentucky. Stands are typified by a grassy understory dominated by <i>Schizachyrium scoparium</i> with scattered trees, including some combination of <i>Quercus falcata</i> with <i>Quercus coccinea</i> and/or <i>Quercus stellata</i>. More information is needed both on the composition of this type and its natural or anthropogenic origins. Some examples may be artifacts of management. Presumably frequent fire creates and maintains the prairie-like structure since there is no documented edaphic limitation to heavy tree growth on these sites.  Accession Code: VB.CC.35328.CEGL004214 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
