Name: Quercus buckleyi - Quercus fusiformis - Juniperus ashei Forest & Woodland Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: These dry-mesic to dry hardwood and mixed forests and woodlands are found in Texas, in parts of the Edwards Plateau, west into the Stockton Plateau and north into the Arbuckle Mountains as well as in parts of south-central Oklahoma. The physiognomic expression varies from closed-canopy stands and dense mottes (patches of forest where canopy cover approaches 100%) interspersed with grasslands to open savanna-like woodlands with scattered individuals or small groups of trees. <i>Quercus buckleyi</i> is present to dominant in the more dry-mesic stands, <i>Quercus fusiformis</i> in the drier ones. Other dominants vary regionally and include <i>Acer grandidentatum, Quercus laceyi, Quercus muehlenbergii</i>, and <i>Quercus sinuata</i>. In addition, <i>Juglans major</i> is also common in more mesic stands. Other diagnostic trees sometimes present include <i>Arbutus xalapensis, Celtis laevigata var. laevigata, Celtis laevigata var. reticulata, Fraxinus albicans, Prosopis glandulosa, Prunus serotina, Quercus marilandica, Quercus stellata, Quercus vaseyana</i>, and <i>Ulmus crassifolia</i>. Diagnostic shrubs may include <i>Aesculus pavia, Forestiera pubescens, Frangula caroliniana, Juniperus ashei, Lindera benzoin, Prunus mexicana</i>, and <i>Ungnadia speciosa</i>. Grasslands related to the drier phase of this vegetation tend to grade from shortgrass communities in the west to mixedgrass communities in the east.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40446-{059A10F4-D6E1-4544-9BC0-8E391A7B9BA3} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
