Name: Quercus fusiformis - Quercus buckleyi / Quercus sinuata - (Juniperus ashei) Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This woodland occurs over shallow soils, on limestone mesatops in the Edwards Plateau of Texas. This association is dominated by <i>Quercus fusiformis</i> and <i>Quercus buckleyi</i> and characterized by a mixture of other trees and shrubs, including <i>Ulmus crassifolia, Fraxinus albicans, Juniperus ashei, Quercus sinuata, Forestiera pubescens, Celtis laevigata var. reticulata, Toxicodendron radicans, Ilex decidua, Cercis canadensis var. texensis, Rhus trilobata, Sideroxylon lanuginosum, Lonicera albiflora, Frangula caroliniana, Ungnadia speciosa</i>, and <i>Opuntia engelmannii</i>. Shrubs are usually located only under large trees or in mottes. With increasing fire frequency, the density of <i>Juniperus ashei</i> may decline. Herbaceous cover is variable and patchy in distribution. It may be dense in areas with shallow soils but sparse to absent in areas where bedrock is exposed at the surface. Herbaceous species include <i>Carex planostachys, Nassella leucotricha, Limnodea arkansana, Chaerophyllum tainturieri, Gaillardia pulchella, Erodium texanum</i>, and <i>Thelesperma filifolium</i>.
