click to update datacart
Name: Quercus stellata - Ulmus crassifolia Forest & Woodland Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This alliance occurs in a variety of dry and dry-mesic landscape settings in the southern Crosstimbers of Oklahoma, and the Crosstimbers, Edwards Plateau and Post Oak Savannah regions of Texas. It is characterized by an open to closed tree canopy dominated by <i>Quercus stellata</i>. Other canopy associates may include <i>Ulmus crassifolia, Carya texana, Quercus marilandica, Quercus fusiformis, Quercus virginiana, Quercus buckleyi</i>, or <i>Quercus incana</i> depending on substrate and location. This alliance occurs west of the range of <i>Quercus falcata, Quercus alba, Quercus coccinea, Quercus velutina</i>, and <i>Pinus echinata</i>. Woodland examples often have high cover of <i>Schizachyrium scoparium</i> and other grasses from adjacent prairies. Forest examples may have high cover of a variety of shrubs in the understory. These forests and woodlands are found in a variety of landscape settings from level plains to rolling hills to rocky hilltops. Substrates are variable and may include sands to clay loams over sandstone, limestone, granite, or sedimentary formations in the coastal plain. Fire and grazing are thought to play a role in maintaining this vegetation.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:38504-{DEB07504-EECF-46C6-BDAB-158CC4AB29E7} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
