Pleistocene Sands: Blackjack Oak - Eastern Redcedar Woodland
Area: 54,229 acres (21,946 ha)
Description of Mapped Type: This type is mapped on deep, aeolian or alluvial sands and is
characterized by woodlands with fairly low tree diversity that contain blackjack oak among the
dominants. Post oak may be present in the eastern part of the range of the type, and Havard
shin oak may occur as an understory component within its range. Eastern redcedar is often an
important component. Other woody components may include gum bumelia, western soapberry,
netleaf hackberry, American elm, black locust, and Siberian elm. Common shrubs include
skunkbush sumac, Chickasaw plum, and sand sagebrush.
