Description

Abstract. -- Witness tree data from original land surveys conducted during 1876-1884 were used to characterize the historic vegetation of a site in the Balcones Canyonlands of the Edwards Plateau. Eight tree species were recorded from the study area by surveyors, with Plateau oak (Quercus fusiformis) and Ashe juniper (Juniperus ashei) being the most abundant; the largest individuals were of post oak (Quercus stellata) and Ashe juniper. Kerr Wildlife Management Area (WMA) was dominated by open grassland (64% of survey points); savanna (15%) and wooded areas (15%) were less common. Grassland has disappeared from the area over the past 120 yr, being replaced by woodland and forest in the contemporary landscape. No association was found between the structure of historic plant communities and ecological site types on Kerr WMA. **********
