Name: Quercus stellata - Quercus marilandica / Schizachyrium scoparium Wooded Grassland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This open post oak barrens community is found in the Interior Highlands region of the central United States. Stands occur on shallow, somewhat excessively drained soil over bedrock (commonly sandstone or sandy/gravelly substrates) or on dry, exposed slopes. Soils are infertile, circumneutral to slightly acidic, and moderately well-drained to rapidly drained. Large boulders and pavements of exposed sandstone may occur. Stunted, xerophytic oaks grow above a sparse layer of grasses less than 1 m tall. Tree canopy species include <i>Quercus marilandica, Quercus stellata, Quercus falcata, Quercus alba</i>, and <i>Quercus velutina</i>. Shrubby areas, often containing <i>Vaccinium arboreum</i>, may be present. The herbaceous layer is composed of <i>Carex pensylvanica, Danthonia spicata, Koeleria macrantha</i>, and <i>Schizachyrium scoparium</i>. Other characteristic species include <i>Clitoria mariana, Liatris squarrosa</i>, and <i>Solidago juncea</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:31299-{34F34FF7-FD6A-4A9D-9D3E-6D1D7E4C68E6} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
