Name: Quercus sinuata / Solidago auriculata - Zigadenus nuttallii Mixed Herb Dry-mesic Blackland Ravine Woodland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This dry-mesic, calcareous, woodland community occurs on slopes and ravines adjacent to blackland prairie on the Upper West Gulf Coastal Plain of Arkansas. Overstory trees are relatively short (to 10 m [35 feet]) and widely spaced. In fire-maintained examples the overstory is not closed; both the midstory and shrub layers tend to be sparse. The herbaceous layer is predominately forb in composition and moderately dense with little litter build-up. Fire plays a role in maintaining the woodland structure, and fire-suppressed woodlands can have a dense midstory and suppressed herbaceous layer. The dominant tree species is overwhelmingly <i>Quercus sinuata</i>, but other species with calcareous affinities may also be present. The herbaceous layer is dominated by forbs and sedges. Dominant herbaceous species include <i>Symphyotrichum cordifolium, Carex cherokeensis, Desmodium perplexum, Geum canadense, Helianthus hirsutus, Leersia virginica</i>, and <i>Solidago auriculata</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:36134-{A07C274B-F8C2-4704-B747-76C6A0107C17} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
