Name: Quercus muehlenbergii - Quercus macrocarpa / Andropogon gerardii Ravine Woodland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This chinquapin oak - bur oak woodland community is found in the central tallgrass prairie region of the United States. Stands occur in dry-mesic ravines and valleys of rivers and major streams. This wooded community is found in a landscape that is primarily prairie. The canopy is not completely closed; it is thought to range from 25-80% cover. The tree layer is dominated by <i>Quercus muehlenbergii</i> and <i>Quercus macrocarpa</i>. <i>Cercis canadensis</i> and <i>Ulmus</i> spp. are common associates. There is usually a prominent shrub layer. The two most common shrubs are <i>Cornus drummondii</i> and <i>Symphoricarpos orbiculatus</i>. <i>Celtis occidentalis</i> and <i>Ulmus</i> spp. are often in the shrub layer, especially on sites that have not been burned recently. Herbaceous dominants include <i>Schizachyrium scoparium</i> and <i>Panicum virgatum</i>. Periodic fire is necessary to maintain the relatively open, woodland character. In the absence of fire this community soon begins to succeed to other, more closed forest types.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:31054-{31931297-3E97-4D7E-AFF3-EB4147D4D415} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
