Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Post Oak - Eastern Red-cedar Ruderal Forest
Colloquial Name: Crosstimbers Ruderal Post Oak - Red-cedar Forest
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This association includes mixed Quercus stellata - Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana forests, usually with closed or nearly closed canopies, occurring as a result of fire suppression and resulting from ingrowth of cedar into post oak woodlands. In Oklahoma, characteristic species are Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana, Quercus stellata, Andropogon gerardii, Carya texana, Quercus marilandica, Rhus aromatica var. aromatica, Rhus glabra, Schizachyrium scoparium, Symphoricarpos orbiculatus, and Tridens flavus.
Diagnostic Characteristics: No Data Available
Rationale for Nominal Species or Physiognomic Features: No Data Available
Classification Comments: This type could also represent similar mixed Juniperus - Quercus forest vegetation of Texas. It may be found in the Upper West Gulf Coastal Plain in the transition zone between pine-dominated uplands and the post oak belt (R. Turner pers. comm. 1999), which is 231En. It is also likely in the Cross Timbers area of Texas.
