Name: Quercus alba / Cornus florida Unglaciated Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This white oak type is found in the Interior Low Plateau and Ozarks region of the midwestern United States. Stands may occur on fairly rich sites with a strong clay component in the soil, or on steep slopes, where soils are silty, well-drained soils formed from cherty limestone. The vegetation is dominated by closed-canopy trees. Historically stands may have had a woodland structure. The vegetation is strongly dominated by <i>Quercus alba</i>. Stands in Illinois and Indiana contain 80-90% <i>Quercus alba</i>, and <i>Quercus montana</i> and <i>Pinus virginiana</i> are minor components. In Kansas, associated tree species include <i>Carya cordiformis, Carya ovata, Ostrya virginiana</i>, and <i>Sassafras albidum</i>. Shrubs include <i>Staphylea trifolia</i> and <i>Vaccinium arboreum</i>, and <i>Cornus florida</i> is not very constant.
