Name: Juniperus ashei Dry Chalk Outcrop Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association includes <i>Juniperus ashei</i> woodlands, occurring on chalk bluffs in the Coastal Plain of Arkansas. This community is a linear feature on tops of 90- to 100-foot high bluffs, over very thin alkaline soils. <i>Quercus sinuata var. breviloba</i>, a deciduous oak, is a characteristic associated species that occurs as a stunted tree or large shrub. Either <i>Juniperus ashei</i> or <i>Quercus sinuata</i> may be locally dominant within an occurrence. Other associated species may include <i>Quercus prinoides, Fraxinus quadrangulata</i> and <i>Ulmus alata</i>. This woodland grades into areas supporting unique Blackland Prairie communities and may contain species from these adjacent areas.
