Name: Quercus buckleyi - Juglans major / Juniperus ashei Dry-Mesic Forest Group
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: The range of this woodland and forest group is centered in the highly dissected southern and eastern sections of the Edwards Plateau of Texas but extends west into the Stockton Plateau of Texas and north and east into the Crosstimbers and to the Arbuckle Mountains and possibly other isolated mountains in south-central Oklahoma. It typically occurs on north- and northeast-facing, dry-mesic to mesic limestone slopes and canyon bottoms. The tree canopy is generally closed, deciduous, and floristically variable regionally. <i>Quercus buckleyi</i> is present in most stands and dominant in many. Other dominants vary regionally and include <i>Quercus laceyi, Quercus muehlenbergii, Ulmus crassifolia</i>, and <i>Acer grandidentatum</i>. <i>Juglans major</i> is common in more mesic stands. Other diagnostic trees sometimes present include <i>Arbutus xalapensis, Celtis laevigata var. reticulata, Fraxinus albicans</i>, and <i>Prunus serotina var. eximia</i>. Diagnostic shrubs may include <i>Aesculus pavia, Cercis canadensis var. texensis, Forestiera pubescens, Frangula caroliniana, Garrya ovata, Juniperus ashei, Lindera benzoin, Prunus mexicana, Ungnadia speciosa</i>, and <i>Viburnum rufidulum</i>.
