Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Although definitions vary, one common definition is: an oak savanna is a plant community with scattered “open-grown” fire tolerant oak trees. Other terms for these savannas are “oak openings” and “barrens”. In contrast to a forest, which has a closed canopy, the oak savanna canopy ranges from about 10% to 30%.
Detailed explanation-2: -Oak openings are fire-dependent savannas dominated by oaks, having between 10 and 60% canopy, with or without a shrub layer. The predominantly graminoid ground layer is composed of species associated with both prairie and forest communities.
