Name: Quercus rubra - (Acer saccharum, Quercus alba) Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This community is found in the northern prairie-forest border region of the United States and farther east to Ohio. Tree canopy dominance is variable, but <i>Quercus rubra</i> is always present with at least moderate (20%) cover. Other associates may include <i>Acer saccharum, Acer rubrum, Quercus alba, Tilia americana</i>, and <i>Ulmus americana</i>. The subcanopy and sapling layers often contain <i>Prunus virginiana</i> or <i>Prunus serotina</i>. This type is poorly understood, but may represent a successional type in the prairie-forest border region shifting from oak dominance to maple, basswood and elm dominance. The type is restricted to the central midwestern region and extreme southern Ontario, and is not found in northern Minnesota, northern Wisconsin, northern Michigan, or central Ontario.
