Name: Quercus velutina - Quercus coccinea - Carya texana Ozark Forest
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This oak - hickory forest community is found in the United States in the Ozarks of southeastern Missouri and possibly northeastern Arkansas. Stands occur on dry slopes, with thin soils and primarily a cherty bedrock near the surface. The canopy is dominated by <i>Quercus velutina, Quercus coccinea</i>, and <i>Carya texana</i>. Other associates and understory characteristics have yet to be described, but <i>Quercus alba</i> may also be present, along with minor amounts of <i>Pinus echinata</i> and shrubs such as <i>Vaccinium arboreum</i>. Sources indicate that this type primarily occurs on former <i>Pinus echinata</i> woodland sites that were completely logged, then grazed and burned, leading to a degraded oak forest.
