Name: Quercus muehlenbergii - Quercus (alba, velutina) - (Juniperus virginiana) Driftless Bluff Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This chinquapin oak woodland type occurs primarily on bluffs of large rivers in the midwestern United States. Stands occur in scattered areas along steep southwest-facing bluffs or slopes, particularly on the Mississippi River. Presumably the underlying soils and bedrock have a calcareous influence. Stands contain an open tree layer, with <i>Quercus muehlenbergii</i> as the characteristic dominant, and <i>Quercus alba, Quercus velutina, Quercus macrocarpa</i>, and <i>Juniperus virginiana</i> as common associates. <i>Cornus racemosa</i> may be common in the shrub layer. The ground layer may contain a dry to dry-mesic prairie flora, but little is known about this type and few stands are available for characterization.
