This type is characterized by a mix of eastern redcedar (mainly north, in the Ozarks) or
Ozark-Ouachita: Dry pine species (mainly south, in the Ouachitas) and oaks, and is often successional or a
Mixed Oak - result of past disturbance. Common deciduous tree species include post oak, white oak, 13,805.5 34,114.0 0.076% 2 1
Evergreen Woodland black oak, black hickory, chinkapin oak, blackjack oak, black walnut, sugar hackberry,
and slippery elm.

This common and broadly circumscribed type is mapped on upland flats and moderate
Ozark-Ouachita: Dry slopes. Common tree species include post oak, white oak, black oak, blackjack oak, 654,607.8 1,617,568.7 3.616% 144 33
Oak Woodland black hickory, other hickory species, slippery elm, sugar hackberry, and black walnut.
Shortleaf pine or eastern redcedar may also be components in low density.

This type is mapped on relatively dry site types and represents mainly disturbed areas
and may include pastures, forest edges, and clear-cuts where young pines have been
planted, although these areas could not be identified as having been clear-cut between
Ozark-Ouachita: Dry 2000 and 2012. Young trees and successional shrubs characterize the type. Common
Oak Woodland woody species include post oak, black oak, blackjack oak, hickory species, winged elm, 14,076.4 34,783.6 0.078% 5 4
Young Regrowth
slippery elm, common persimmon, sassafras, black cherry, redbud, eastern redcedar
and sumac species. Vines such as poison ivy, Virginia creeper, greenbrier species, and
blackberry species are common.

This type was mapped over slopes >20% and on low flats below hills or mountains.
Composition is similar to the Ozark-Ouachita: Dry-Mesic Oak Forest type, with the
Ozark-Ouachita: Dry- addition of shortleaf pine (or loblolly pine, mainly in the south) as a common component.
Mesic Mixed Oak - 40,915.2 101,103.5 0.226% 4 0
Evergreen Forest These mainly closed-canopy forests may contain white oak, hickory species, black oak,
northern red oak, and chinkapin oak as important species. This type may also include
areas where forestry practices have increased the dominance of pine.

This type was mapped over slopes >20% and on low flats. Closed-canopy forests with
species such as white oak, hickory species, black oak, northern red oak, and chinkapin
Ozark-Ouachita: Dry- oak are characteristic of this type. The most mesic areas may contain sugar maple as 322,587.6 797,130.2 1.782% 72 8
Mesic Oak Forest an important component. Flowering dogwood, redbud, hophornbeam, and sassafras are
common woody understory species.

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
Ozark-Ouachita: Dry- 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
