Name: Quercus arkansana - Quercus incana / Selaginella arenicola ssp. riddellii Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This xeric woodland is characterized by a low (&lt;12 m), open canopy often dominated by <i>Quercus arkansana</i> and <i>Quercus incana</i>, with lesser amounts of <i>Quercus margarettae, Quercus stellata</i>, and <i>Pinus echinata</i>. Canopy species occur as small groves or in more-or-less uniform stands, along with some dense patches of shrubs and woody vines. Areas with woody vegetation are interspersed with open areas dominated by grasses, bare sand, or a sparse combination of component herbs, often with patches of <i>Selaginella arenicola ssp. riddellii</i>. The herbaceous species serve as particularly good indicators of xeric conditions; many species are both fidel to this habitat in the region and endemic to the West Gulf Coastal Plain.
