Name: (Quercus incana) / Schizachyrium scoparium - Bouteloua hirsuta - Dalea villosa var. grisea - Selaginella arenicola ssp. riddellii Xeric Sand Barrens Woodland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This xeric herbaceous plant community occurs on hilltops and slopes over deep sands on the Upper West Gulf Coastal Plain of Arkansas. Overstory trees are few or nonexistent apparently due to either extreme edaphic conditions and/or extremely frequent fire histories. The herbaceous layer is thick and relatively short (60-90 cm [2-3 feet] tall). Bare soil is usually present, although often covered with <i>Selaginella arenicola ssp. riddellii</i> and <i>Nostoc commune</i>. The only overstory trees are scattered, dwarfed, frequently multi-stemmed (due to drought induced die-back) <i>Quercus incana</i>. Shrubs and woody vines are infrequent with scattered <i>Ceanothus americanus, Toxicodendron radicans</i>, and <i>Vitis aestivalis</i>. The herbaceous layer is dominated by grasses such as <i>Aristida lanosa, Bouteloua hirsuta, Paspalum setaceum</i>, and <i>Schizachyrium scoparium</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:36141-{404A443E-8A61-4686-ACA3-1AEB0AD5456B} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
