click to update datacart
Name: Juniperus virginiana - (Quercus spp.) Ruderal Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This is a successional community dominated by a nearly monospecific <i>Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana</i> canopy. Species composition and cover are variable depending upon geographic location and disturbance history. Some examples are densely forested (75-100% total cover) with <i>Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana</i> and sparse subcanopy, shrub and herb strata. Other examples, especially those that are somewhat more open-canopied, are more species-rich, and other tree species may enter the canopy in low levels of abundance. Species that may occur in the canopy include <i>Carya tomentosa, Carya carolinae-septentrionalis, Carya ovata, Cercis canadensis</i>, and <i>Pinus virginiana</i>. Various oaks (including <i>Quercus coccinea, Quercus falcata, Quercus stellata</i>, and <i>Quercus phellos</i>) may also be present, seeding in from adjacent oak-hardwood forests. The midstory is typically sparse, with canopy species as well as <i>Cornus florida, Ilex opaca, Liquidambar styraciflua</i>, and <i>Prunus serotina var. serotina</i>. In addition, <i>Frangula caroliniana</i> occurs in various strata. Herbs are patchy and typically include <i>Asplenium platyneuron, Chasmanthium laxum, Eupatorium</i> spp., <i>Polystichum acrostichoides</i>, and <i>Carex</i> spp. This community is widely distributed in both coastal plain and interior regions of the southeastern United States, ranging in the interior to Oklahoma, Kentucky, and West Virginia.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35428-{43823426-725C-4FAE-90DA-C40F70D23B62} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 1
