Ozark-Ouachita: Dry-Mesic Oak Woodland Young Regrowth
Area: 17,498 acres (7,081 ha)
Description of Mapped Type: This type is mapped on relatively mesic site types and represents
mainly disturbed areas and may include pastures, forest edges, or clear-cuts where young pines
have been planted, but these stands could not be identified as having been cut between 2000
and 2012. Young trees and successional shrubs characterize the type. Common woody
species include post oak, black oak, white oak, chinkapin oak, blackjack oak, hickory species,
winged elm, slippery elm, common persimmon, sassafras, black cherry, redbud, and sumac
species. Vines such as poison ivy, Virginia creeper, greenbrier species, and blackberry species
are common.
