Description: This dry to dry-mesic oak forest community is found in the central regions of the Great Lakes in the United States and Canada. Stands typically occur on well-drained sandy and sandy loam moraines, ice-contact topography, and fine-textured glacial lakebeds. The overstory contains <i>Quercus rubra, Quercus alba, Acer rubrum</i> and, less frequently <i>Pinus strobus, Populus grandidentata</i>, and <i>Quercus velutina</i>. The sapling layer contains <i>Prunus serotina</i> and <i>Ostrya virginiana</i>, with <i>Acer rubrum</i> or <i>Acer saccharum</i>. Shrubs include <i>Amelanchier</i> spp. and <i>Viburnum acerifolium</i>. The herbaceous layer contains <i>Aralia nudicaulis, Eurybia macrophylla, Desmodium glutinosum, Desmodium nudiflorum, Maianthemum canadense</i>, and <i>Trientalis borealis</i>. Further work is needed to characterize this type rangewide.
