Comm #8123	Quercus stellata - Quercus muehlenbergii / Schizachyrium scoparium - Sorghastrum nutans Black Belt Woodland » more details accession code: VB.CC.20402.QUERCUSSTELLATA	Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...	0	This Black Belt woodland has an open canopy dominated by Quercus stellata, Quercus muehlenbergii, and Quercus marilandica. Other typical canopy species include Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana, Quercus falcata, Fraxinus americana, Carya alba, and Carya glabra. Canopy closure is highly variable, ranging from open or even scattered, to closed. Presumably this association was more open in the past, with more frequent burning. Typical shrubs include Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana and Frangula caroliniana. Schizachyrium scoparium and Sorghastrum nutans are the principal herbs. This community occurs in the Black Belt (Selma Chalk) area of Alabama and Mississippi.

Comm #8128	A.567 » more details accession code: VB.CC.2211.A567 NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTED	EcoArt 2002	0	This riparian woodland alliance is found at middle elevations (from 1900-2900 m) of the central and southern Rocky Mountains and the Colorado Plateau region. Stands typically occur in narrow, or V-shaped, valleys and canyons subject to cold-air drainage and limited sunlight. They occupy streambanks, terraces, narrow floodplains or benches, and subirrigated toeslopes; stream gradients are often steep. These sites can be subject to spring flooding, and usually water tables are within 1 m of the soil surface even late in the growing season. The soils are somewhat variable often with signs of mottling. This alliance is characterized by the dominance of ~Picea pungens$ in the tree canopy. Other conifers are usually present in these stands, depending upon geographic location, site moisture, and stand history. Common associates include ~Pseudotsuga menziesii, Abies lasiocarpa, Abies concolor, Picea engelmannii, Pinus ponderosa$, and ~Pinus contorta$. ~Populus angustifolia$ is the most commonly present deciduous tree species, although ~Populus tremuloides$ may persist as a seral species on well-drained sites of this alliance. There is often an abundant tall-shrub layer; common species include ~Alnus incana, Betula occidentalis, Cornus sericea, Rosa woodsii$, and several species of ~Salix$. Other shrubs that may be present include ~Dasiphora fruticosa ssp. floribunda (= Pentaphylloides floribunda), Lonicera involucrata$, and ~Acer glabrum$. Because of favorable soil moisture, the herbaceous layer is usually a luxuriant mixture of forbs and graminoids, including ~Equisetum arvense, Calamagrostis canadensis, Carex siccata (= Carex foenea), Heracleum sphondylium, Rudbeckia laciniata, Mertensia ciliata, Fragaria virginiana, Conioselinum scopulorum$, and ~Maianthemum stellatum$. The herbaceous layer can have very high cover in some stands. Diagnostic of this woodland alliance is the dominance of ~Picea pungens$ with an open to moderately closed canopy, occurring on sites that have surface water for brief periods during the growing season.

Comm #8130	A.1405 » more details accession code: VB.CC.1179.A1405 NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTED	EcoArt 2002	0	This alliance includes grasslands dominated by an introduced perennial sod grass native to Europe. Stands have been described from Montana, but the alliances is likely more widespread. ~Agrostis stolonifera$ has been widely planted for forage in North America and has invaded native communities from hay fields, especially more mesic areas such as riparian floodplains and seasonally flooded wetlands in the semi-arid western U.S.
