Acidic Oak-Hickory Woodland / Savanna – CEGL003722

Open, savanna-like woodland of post oak (Quercus stellata), hickories (Carya spp.), and little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium var. scoparium), in the training area of Quantico Marine Base, southeastern Fauquier County.  The physiognomy and floristic composition of the stand has been influenced by decades of frequent but random incendiary fires.
