Name: Quercus stellata - Quercus velutina - Quercus alba - (Quercus falcata) / Croton michauxii Sand Woodland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This post oak - mixed oak woodland community is found in the upper reaches of the Mississippi River Alluvial Plain of the southeastern United States, particularly in southeastern Missouri and, at least historically, in adjacent states. Stands occur on gentle to moderately steep mid and upper slopes of hills and plains, on ridges and knolls of terraces, and on ridgetops. Soils are deep (100 cm or more), well-drained, and composed of eolian or alluvial sand and loess. The canopy is 7-30 m tall, dominated by <i>Quercus alba, Quercus falcata, Quercus stellata</i>, and <i>Quercus velutina</i>. The understory is 2-8 m tall with less than 75% cover. Shrubs and small trees are both present in the understory. The low-shrub layer contains <i>Vaccinium pallidum</i> in Missouri. The ground cover consists of mixed herbaceous species with a cover of 10-60%. Herbaceous species include <i>Saccharum alopecuroides, Polygonella americana, Helianthus microcephalus, Solidago odora, Asclepias variegata, Desmodium viridiflorum, Croton michauxii, Cyperus grayoides</i>, and <i>Sida elliottii</i>. Lichens and mosses are often present in drier examples of this community. This community is historic in Arkansas and perhaps in Kentucky.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:31304-{01EB3F7E-63A2-48E4-AE1E-C61EB9ECF73A} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
