CEGL002593 Juniperus virginiana Midwest Ruderal Forest
Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Eastern Red-cedar Midwest Ruderal Forest
Colloquial Name: Midwest Ruderal Red-cedar Forest
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This semi-natural red-cedar forest type is expected to be found in locally disturbed areas in the central and upper midwestern United States. Stands typically occur in old fields and other disturbed places. The vegetation may vary in structure from open-canopy woodland (particularly as it invades herbaceous old fields) to dense, closed-canopy forest. Juniperus virginiana is the leading tree dominant. Other associates have not been well-described, but may include Rhus typhina.
Diagnostic Characteristics: No Data Available
Rationale for Nominal Species or Physiognomic Features: No Data Available
Classification Comments: The range of this type is north of ~Juniperus virginiana - (Quercus spp.) Ruderal Forest (CEGL007124)$$, which, in the Midwest, is expected to go no further north than in the Ozarks and Interior Low Plateau (and possibly the Western Allegheny Plateau).
