Oak forest
An oak forest is a plant community with a tree canopy dominated by oaks (Quercus spp.). In terms of canopy closure, oak forests contain the most closed canopy, compared to oak savannas and oak woodlands.[1]
Examples[]
- Southern dry-mesic oak forests in Minnesota dominated by red oak (Quercus rubra), white oak (Q. alba), and basswood (Tilia americana)[2]
- Foloi oak forest in Greece, dominated by Quercus frainetto[3]
- Oak–hickory forest throughout eastern North America
- Oak–heath forest
