Name: Corylus americana - Malus ioensis - Ceanothus americanus Shrubland
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This shrubland community is found in the central tallgrass prairie region of the midwestern United States. Stands occur on well-drained uplands found on glacial moraines, kame complexes, and outwash plains. Soils are fine-textured silt-loams. Stands are maintained by fires. Shrubs dominate the canopy, forming copses of <i>Ceanothus americanus, Corylus americana, Prunus americana, Malus ioensis (= Pyrus ioensis), Quercus ellipsoidalis, Quercus macrocarpa</i>, and <i>Salix humilis</i>. The dominant grass was <i>Schizachyrium scoparium</i>, with <i>Danthonia spicata</i> also present. Typical forbs include <i>Apocynum androsaemifolium, Helianthus divaricatus, Lathyrus venosus</i>, and <i>Polygala senega</i>. Few stands of this type remain, making further characterization difficult.
