Name: Quercus marilandica / Vaccinium arboreum / Danthonia spicata Scrub Woodland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This xeric blackjack oak type is found in the Interior Highlands region and western edge of the Interior Low Plateau of the United States. Stands occur on xeric bedrock outcrops on moderately steep to steep south- or southwest-facing slopes and ridgetops of hills and mountains. Soils are rapidly drained and very shallow (0-40 cm). Parent material may be igneous or sandstone. The bedrock is often exposed with fragments of rocks and boulders strewn over the surface. The canopy is stunted (3-8 m) and forms a scrub woodland dominated by <i>Quercus marilandica</i>. Some <i>Quercus stellata</i> is present. The shrub layer is typically sparse (&lt;50% cover) and contains <i>Vaccinium arboreum</i>, or occasional <i>Vaccinium pallidum</i>. The herb layer is sparse (&lt;50% cover). Typical species include <i>Danthonia spicata</i>, along with <i>Allium canadense var. mobilense, Cunila origanoides, Dichanthelium acuminatum, Diodia teres</i>. Mosses and lichens are often prevalent, including the mosses <i>Polytrichum</i> spp. and the lichens <i>Cladonia subtenuis, Flavoparmelia baltimorensis</i>, and <i>Myelochroa obsessa</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:31333-{FB4420C4-C48F-41E5-AD04-3E866D064EBF} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
