Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Southern Red Oak - Mockernut Hickory - Shagbark Hickory Forest
Colloquial Name: Eastern Oklahoma Dry-Mesic Oak - Hickory Forest
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This oak-hickory forest is known from mesic to dry-mesic valleys and uplands of eastern Oklahoma (Adair, Cherokee, Choctaw, Haskell, Latimer, LeFlore, McCurtain, and Pushmataha counties), ranging into the Arkansas Ozarks. The canopy contains a mixture of Quercus falcata, Carya tomentosa, and Carya ovata. Other characteristic species include Quercus velutina.
Diagnostic Characteristics: No Data Available
Rationale for Nominal Species or Physiognomic Features: No Data Available
Classification Comments: More work needs to be done to define this association and to determine its relationship to other deciduous forests defined for the Ouachitas and Ozarks. The concept of this association may be covered in associations of other alliances.

Environmental Description: This forest is known from mesic to dry-mesic valleys and uplands of eastern Oklahoma.
Geographic Range: This association is currently defined from eastern Oklahoma (Adair, Cherokee, Choctaw, Haskell, Latimer, LeFlore, McCurtain, and Pushmataha counties), and stands have been identified in the Ozarks of Arkansas. It may be determined to be more wide-ranging once comparisons are made with other similar vegetation in the Ozarks and Ouachitas.
