  Pin Oak - Quercus palustris
Pin oak and sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) vary in their relative proportions in this cover type, and large areas of almost pure pin oak occur on the "pin oak flats" of the upland glacial till plains or in the bottom lands of the lower Ohio and central Mississippi River valleys.
Pin oak is an associated species in Silver Maple-American Elm (Type 62) in the bottom lands along the Ohio, Wabash, Mississippi, and Missouri Rivers; a variant of this type, silver maple-American elm-pin oak-sweetgum, is found along major streams in southern Illinois and Indiana.
Pin oak is subject to most of the diseases of oaks including oak wilt (Ceratocystis fagacearum) and is particularly susceptible to a leaf blister fungus (Taphrina caerulescens), a shoot-blight and twig canker fungus (Dothiorella quercina), and pin oak blight (Endothia gyrosa) (12).

Pin oak grows from southwestern New England west to extreme southern Ontario, southern Michigan, northern Illinois, and Iowa; south to Missouri, eastern Kansas, and northeastern Oklahoma; then east to central Arkansas, Tennessee, central North Carolina, and Virginia (16).
Pin and other bottom-land oaks are the primary tree species in bottom-land duck-hunting areas (greentree reservoirs) that are artificially flooded during the fall and winter to attract migrating waterfowl (19).
Pin oak transplants well, and because of its rapid growth, large symmetrical crown, and scarlet fall colorations, it is commonly planted as a shade or ornamental tree (24).

  Upland Oak Ecology: Oak Symposium
Oaks owe their very existence to disturbance, but their resistance to disturbance-mediated change as well as their resilience (rate of recovery) depends on the characteristics of the ecosystem within which they occur.
Oak forests have dominated forests of the central and eastern United States for millennia, in large part because frequent fires reduced competition from fire-intolerant competitors and encouraged oaks to dominate the advance regeneration pool.
Oak decline is a complex syndrome associated with a variety of environmental and biological stresses such as drought and invasion of pests resulting in reduced vigor and ultimately death of trees.

Oklahoma is the continental crossroads for a variety of forests.
Although Oklahoma is commonly thought of only as a state with wide-open prairies, wheat fields and ranchland, approximately 10 million acres, about 20% of the land, is presently forested.
Oklahoma's riparian forests are now being recognized for their value in controlling non-point source pollution and erosion, protecting water quality, providing travel corridors and habitat for diverse wildlife species, shading streams and maintaining aquatic habitat, and serving as a transition zone between streams and more intensive land uses.

 Black Oak - Quercus velutina Fagaceae - Beech family — Western North Carolina Nature Center
Black oak is widely distributed from southwestern Maine west in New York to extreme southern Ontario, southeastern Minnesota, and Iowa; south in eastern Nebraska, eastern Kansas, central Oklahoma, and eastern Texas; and east to northwestern Florida and Georgia (18,19).
Black oak grows best in the Central States where the climate is moderate, with an average annual temperature of 13° C (55° F), precipitation of 1020 to 1270 mm (40 to 50 in), and a frost-free season of about 180 days (6).
On the best sites fl oak trees may reach 46 m (150 ft) in height and 122 cm (48 in) in d.b.h., but most mature trees are 18 to 24 in (60 to 80 ft) tall and 61 to 91 cm (24 to 36 in) in d.b.h.

Oak savannas and woodlands on drought-prone sites are much more numerous, contain most of their potential plant diversity (often badly degraded), and respond more quickly to restoration efforts.
Based on discussions at the oak savanna conference, and the papers presented by R. Henderson and D. Nyberg as part of the conference, the proposal is made that we limit the use of the term savanna to tree canopies of (5) 10-25 (50)%.
It is remnant oak savanna habitat consisting of mixed burr and northern pin oak with a prairie understory on sandy substrate.

Overcup oak is favored by clearcutting or group cutting on poorly drained soils; it may be the only commercial species that grows well on wet bottomland sites [11].
Since overcup oak is dependent on overflow or floodwaters for seed dispersal, it has to be planted on these sites if its presence is desired [32].
The national champion overcup oak for 1976 was in South Carolina; it measured 22 feet (6.7 m) in circumference, was 123 feet (37 m) tall, and had a 48-foot (14.6-m) crown spread [12].
