Name: Quercus muehlenbergii - Fraxinus americana - Juniperus virginiana Forest & Woodland Group
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This group encompasses relatively dry calcareous forests and woodlands of temperate eastern North America, in which <i>Quercus muehlenbergii</i> is associated with a variety of hardwoods and/or <i>Juniperus virginiana</i>. Examples can occur on a variety of topographic and landscape positions, including ridgetops and upper and midslopes. It also includes relatively dry, rich woodlands of traprock habitats in the Northeast. Droughts and fires are factors determining the relative mixture of deciduous hardwood versus evergreen trees. In the Southern Ridge and Valley region, the Central Basin of Tennessee and other related areas, these forests may cover large areas; elsewhere, they occur as relatively small inclusions within a forest matrix of other oak and pine species.
