Name: Acer grandidentatum - Quercus muehlenbergii - Juglans major Forest & Woodland Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This forest alliance occurs in mesic canyons and lower slopes in dissected landscapes of the Edwards Plateau and adjacent regions of Texas and possibly Oklahoma. It is typically dominated by <i>Acer grandidentatum</i> and/or <i>Quercus muehlenbergii</i>. Other canopy associates may include <i>Quercus laceyi, Quercus buckleyi, Fraxinus albicans</i>, and <i>Prunus serotina var. eximia</i>, among others. Commonly encountered shrubs in the diverse shrub stratum may include <i>Lindera benzoin, Styrax platanifolius</i>, and <i>Cornus drummondii</i>. The herb stratum is often characterized by <i>Carex edwardsiana</i>. Substrates are typically limestone. Moisture availability and sheltered lower slopes and canyons help to maintain this alliance.
