Type Concept: This forest is a widespread successional forest in the Ozark and central Ouachita region, developing from formerly pastured (and maybe also farmed) lands. Pinus echinata, Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana, and Ulmus alata are the dominant trees. Canopy closure is variable (depending on age) and can be open to closed. Especially in the more open occurrences, Rhus glabra and Rhus copallinum can be common shrubs. Schizachyrium scoparium var. scoparium and other grasses may be common.
