Name: Quercus alba - Quercus rubra - Carya spp. North-Central Forest Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This dry-mesic oak forest alliance is widely distributed in the central Midwest region of the United States and possibly in southwest Ontario, Canada. Stands are 15-25 m tall, with a closed, deciduous canopy. The shrub and herbaceous strata are typically well-developed. <i>Quercus alba</i> usually dominates, either alone or in combination with <i>Quercus rubra</i> (especially on moister sites) and sometimes <i>Quercus velutina</i> and <i>Quercus falcata</i> (especially on drier sites). <i>Carya</i> species (particularly <i>Carya tomentosa, Carya glabra</i>, or <i>Carya ovata</i>) are typically common either in the canopy or subcanopy. Other associates include <i>Fraxinus americana, Ulmus americana, Tilia americana, Acer saccharum, Acer rubrum</i>, and more locally, <i>Quercus macrocarpa</i> and <i>Quercus ellipsoidalis</i>. Stands are found on gentle to moderately steep lower to upper slopes on uplands and on steep valley sides. The soils are moderately deep to deep and vary from silts to clays and loams. The parent material ranges from glaciated till to unglaciated soils over limestone, shale, sandstone and other bedrock types. Stands are fire-dependent, and in its absence, many stands are succeeding to types dominated by <i>Acer saccharum, Tilia americana, Acer rubrum</i>, and other mesic tree associates.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:38610-{FCC8DB24-89C7-437A-9F86-4DE00B0045AA} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
