Crataegus flava - Quercus (incana, laevis) Ruderal Woodland | NatureServe Biotics 2019

Name: Crataegus flava - Quercus (incana, laevis) Ruderal Woodland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association includes highly altered examples of vegetation on sites that were formerly longleaf pine / scrub oak sandhills. It occurs in exposed topographic settings in the Fall-line region of Georgia and possibly adjacent Alabama where fire was an important ecological factor, but where <i>Pinus palustris</i> has been removed or failed to regenerate. Stands are dominated by a variable mixture of <i>Quercus laevis, Quercus incana</i>, and <i>Crataegus flava</i>. Dominance of <i>Crataegus flava</i> and the relative absence of <i>Quercus</i> canopy dominance may occur in areas where fire has been less frequent. Some other woody associates include <i>Pinus taeda, Pinus palustris, Quercus margarettae, Quercus marilandica, Quercus stellata</i>, and <i>Nyssa sylvatica</i>. Shrub and herbaceous associates include <i>Rhus copallinum, Rubus flagellaris</i>?, <i>Toxicodendron pubescens, Andropogon ternarius, Andropogon gyrans, Andropogon virginicus, Schizachyrium scoparium, Cnidoscolus urens var. stimulosus, Danthonia sericea, Eupatorium album, Silphium compositum, Stipulicida setacea</i>, and <i>Pteridium aquilinum var. pseudocaudatum</i>. The density of other strata will depend on site conditions and fire-return interval. Under conditions of extreme fire suppression, canopy closure may be high.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:36066-{08986452-4085-441A-947F-4EB6EA4A2564} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
