Name: Quercus macrocarpa / Andropogon gerardii - Panicum virgatum Woodland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This bur oak woodland occurs in the central-western tallgrass prairie region of the United States. Stands occur in river valleys, where soils are deep, fertile, relatively mesic, and with a significant silt component. Drought is common in this community but the sheltered position in the valleys and the presence of a watercourse ameliorate the effects somewhat. The overstory of this community is dominated by short to moderately tall fire-resistant, deciduous trees. In Nebraska, the typical overstory was historically dominated by <i>Quercus macrocarpa</i>. Currently, in the absence of fire typical associates include <i>Carya illinoinensis, Celtis occidentalis, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Juglans nigra, Juniperus virginiana, Quercus macrocarpa</i>, and <i>Ulmus</i> spp. There is often a short-shrub layer, but it is rarely extensive. <i>Symphoricarpos orbiculatus</i> and small trees make up this layer. The understory is composed of a mixture of woodland and grassland species, including <i>Andropogon gerardii, Panicum virgatum</i>, and <i>Spartina pectinata</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:30961-{765B6CF4-C539-4371-91EF-B73E174CEC20} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
