Name: Quercus alba - Carya tomentosa / Ostrya virginiana / Carex pensylvanica - Schizachyrium scoparium Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This is a dry to dry-mesic oak - hickory forest of sandstone plateaus of the Arkansas River Valley Section, Magazine Mountain Subsection of Arkansas. The short (8-m) canopy is dominated by <i>Quercus alba</i> and <i>Carya tomentosa</i>, with possibly some <i>Quercus rubra</i>. <i>Ostrya virginiana</i> dominates the subcanopy; <i>Chionanthus virginicus</i> is also present. <i>Vaccinium stamineum</i> may be a prominent low shrub in some examples. Due to relatively harsh edaphic conditions associated with this type, the canopy is short-statured, and grasses are prominent in the herbaceous stratum; these include <i>Schizachyrium scoparium, Andropogon gerardii, Carex pensylvanica</i>, and <i>Dichanthelium boscii</i>. Other herbaceous species include <i>Gillenia stipulata, Symphyotrichum undulatum</i>?, <i>Solidago ulmifolia</i>, and <i>Helianthus hirsutus</i>. More information is needed on the detailed floristics of this association. It is noteworthy for its short stature and the grass/graminoid-dominated herbaceous layer.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:36005-{15A440A1-7E26-4349-A692-1111C2AA2F22} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
