Historic Vegetation of Camp Bullis and Camp Stanley, Southeastern Edwards Plateau, Texas‪.‬

Abstract. -- Historic land survey data were used to test a previously proposed nineteenth century landscape model of southeastern Edwards Plateau (Balcones Canyonlands or Texas Hill Country) counties; the model (47% wooded pre-1860) was supported by the results of this study. Woodland and savanna were common, open grassland was uncommon, and forest was rare on the study area. Five tree species were recorded; Plateau oak (Quercus fusiformis) was the most common species, post oak (Quercus stellata) was the largest species, and Texas oak (Quercus buckleyi) was the rarest and smallest species. Mean tree density varied from 6.8-307.8 per ha across savanna, woodland, and forest. There was no association between generalized vegetation types (grass-dominated vs. wooded) and range sites/site groups. **********
