Name: Corylus americana - Malus ioensis - Ceanothus americanus Central Shrubland Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This shrubland community is found in the central tallgrass prairie region of the midwestern United States. Shrubs dominate the canopy, forming copses of <i>Ceanothus americanus, Cornus drummondii, Corylus americana, Malus ioensis, Prunus americana, Rhus glabra, Salix humilis</i>, and scattered scrub trees of <i>Quercus ellipsoidalis</i> (eastward) and <i>Quercus macrocarpa</i>. Where shrub cover is open, the dominant grasses are <i>Andropogon gerardii</i> and <i>Schizachyrium scoparium</i>, with <i>Danthonia spicata</i> also present. Typical forbs include <i>Apocynum androsaemifolium, Helianthus divaricatus, Lathyrus venosus</i>, and <i>Polygala senega</i>. Where shrub cover is dense, vines such as <i>Celastrus scandens</i> and <i>Parthenocissus vitacea</i> may be present. Under the dense canopy, the herbaceous layer may be sparse, consisting of exotic species, such as <i>Poa pratensis</i> and <i>Nepeta cataria</i>. Stands occur on level to moderate, well-drained slopes of uplands, usually along the borders of upland woods, but also in grassland ravines. Soils are silty loams formed in loess or glacial till.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:39393-{F7A06A49-05B0-473E-A4C5-68F761A66407} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
