423 Oak/bluestem-Indiangrass savanna This prairie vegetation occurs in central Tennesee. Similar vegetation is found in Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia and eastern Tennessee. Stands are dominated by tall grasses with or without an open to dense woodland canopy of oaks (typically southern red, blackjack or post oaks; other possible oaks include shingle, white or chestnut). Fire suppression leads to an increase in oak cover and allows other woody species to colonize the prairies. This fuelbed represents a savanna structure with a sparse tree canopy over the dominant tallgrass prairie species. 220,230,250 5 228,252 18 2 2
