Name: Populus tremuloides - Quercus (ellipsoidalis, macrocarpa) / Andropogon gerardii Scrub Grassland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This scrub aspen - oak community type occurs in the upper midwestern United States in the pine barrens region of Wisconsin. Stands occur on sandy, somewhat acidic soils. Frequent fires reduce the woody vegetation to a scrub layer. The vegetation comprises a scrubby, fire-tolerant woody layer between 1 and 3 m tall, with a rich herbaceous layer. The scrub or brush layer contains <i>Quercus macrocarpa, Quercus ellipsoidalis</i> and <i>Populus tremuloides</i>. Various shrub species may also occur, including <i>Corylus americana, Gaylussacia baccata, Rosa</i> spp., <i>Vaccinium angustifolium</i>, and <i>Salix</i> spp. The herbaceous layer resembles that of open pine barrens, with species such as <i>Comptonia peregrina, Gaultheria procumbens, Pteridium aquilinum</i>, and other prairie forbs present.
