Name: Quercus ellipsoidalis - (Quercus macrocarpa) Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This northern pin oak - bur oak forest community is found in the upper midwestern United States. Stands are found on sandy, well-drained to excessively well-drained soils. These develop from glacial outwash, glaciofluvial deposits, or alluvial sediments. The soils are relatively infertile and acidic. The tree canopy is moderately closed. In Minnesota, it is typically 70-80%. The more open stands tend to have well-developed shrub layers while closed-canopy stands have fewer shrubs. Some stands, especially those in which fire has been excluded for long periods, can have tree densities up to several hundred trees per hectare. <i>Quercus ellipsoidalis</i> is the dominant tree species and makes up the great majority of the canopy in most stands. Other common tree species include <i>Pinus banksiana</i> (especially in Wisconsin), <i>Populus tremuloides</i>, and sometimes <i>Acer rubrum, Quercus alba, Quercus rubra, Quercus velutina, Quercus macrocarpa</i>, and <i>Prunus serotina</i>. Shrubs such as <i>Cornus racemosa, Corylus cornuta, Juniperus communis</i>, and <i>Vaccinium</i> spp. are typical. The ground layer contains species such as <i>Amphicarpaea bracteata</i>, Asteraceae spp., <i>Carex pensylvanica, Geranium maculatum, Maianthemum racemosum</i>, and <i>Pteridium aquilinum</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:30986-{13E101CC-44CD-48A4-B526-89E9D6518736} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
