Name: Quercus buckleyi - Fraxinus albicans - Juniperus ashei Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association consists of <i>Quercus buckleyi</i>-dominated vegetation of dry-mesic/mesic slopes over calcareous soils of the eastern and southern Edwards Plateau and Lampasas Cutplain, in central Texas. Stands are often clearly dominated by <i>Quercus buckleyi</i>. Another dominant and characteristic canopy species is <i>Fraxinus albicans</i>. Total cover of <i>Juniperus ashei</i> is variable but typically less than 40%, and though a characteristic component of the canopy, most of this cover is in the midstory. Other associated canopy species include <i>Ulmus crassifolia, Celtis laevigata var. laevigata, Celtis laevigata var. texana, Celtis laevigata var. reticulata, Quercus fusiformis, Quercus muehlenbergii, Quercus sinuata var. breviloba</i>, and <i>Prunus serotina var. eximia</i>. Herbaceous components may include <i>Carex planostachys, Lespedeza texana, Carex edwardsiana, Tragia ramosa, Brickellia cylindracea, Symphyotrichum drummondii, Nolina texana, Commelina erecta</i>, and <i>Passiflora lutea</i>. These forests (typically with a closed canopy, although sometimes with open canopies) lack <i>Quercus laceyi</i>, which is more characteristic of the Balcones portion of the western Edwards Plateau.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:31044-{B214ED4F-76EA-4838-B4D3-E5E9BF4B7010} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
