Quercus striatula is a species of oak native to Mexico.
Quercus striatula is low shrub, which spreads by rhizomes. It can form a low, dense thicket up to .4 metres (1+1⁄2 feet) high. [1]
It is native to the Sierra Madre Occidental of Chihuahua, Durango, Aguascalientes, and Zacatecas, and several mountain ranges on the Mexican Plateau to the east of the Siera, including mountains in Zacatecas, San Luis Potosí, and Guanajuato. [1]
Quercus striatula is an understory plant in pine and pine–oak forests between 1,954 and 2,723 m (6,411 and 8,934 ft) in elevation. [1]
The species grows in areas that have been cleared of understory vegetation by fires. It is generally found under the pines Pinus cooperi, P. teocote, P. leiophylla , and/or the oak Quercus sideroxyla . It is associated with Pinus cembroides and Mimosa aculeaticarpa var. biuncifera in drier areas of the mountains. [1]
The Sierra Madre Occidental pine–oak forests are a Temperate broadleaf and mixed forests ecoregion of the Sierra Madre Occidental range from the southwest USA region to the western part of Mexico. They are home to a large number of endemic plants and important habitat for wildlife.
California mixed evergreen forest is a plant community found in the mountain ranges of California and southwestern Oregon.
The Appalachian mixed mesophytic forests is an ecoregion of the temperate broadleaf and mixed forests biome, as defined by the World Wildlife Fund. It consists of mesophytic plants west of the Appalachian Mountains in the Southeastern United States.
The Appalachian–Blue Ridge forests are an ecoregion in the Temperate broadleaf and mixed forests Biome, in the Eastern United States. The ecoregion is located in the central and southern Appalachian Mountains, including the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians and the Blue Ridge Mountains. It covers an area of about 61,500 square miles (159,000 km2) in: northeast Alabama and Georgia, northwest South Carolina, eastern Tennessee, western North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and central West Virginia and Pennsylvania; and small extensions into Kentucky, New Jersey, and New York.

Pinyon–juniper woodland, also spelled piñon–juniper woodland, is a biome found mid-elevations in arid regions of the Western United States, characterized by being an open forest dominated by low, bushy, evergreen junipers, pinyon pines, and their associates. At lower elevations, junipers often predominate and trees are spaced widely, bordering on and mingling with grassland or shrubland, but as elevation increases, pinyon pines become common and trees grow closer, forming denser canopies. Historically, pinyon-juniper woodland has provided a vital source of fuel and food for peoples of the American Southwest.
The Southeastern mixed forests are an ecoregion of the temperate broadleaf and mixed forest biome, in the lower portion of the Eastern United States.

The Southeastern conifer forests are a temperate coniferous forest ecoregion of the southeastern United States. It is the largest conifer forest ecoregion east of the Mississippi River. It is also the southernmost instance of temperate coniferous forest within the Nearctic realm.
Mixed coniferous forest is a vegetation type dominated by a mixture of broadleaf trees and conifers. It is generally located in mountains, below the upper montane vegetation type.
Quercus urbani, also known as Quercus urbanii, is a species of oak. It is native to western and central Mexico from Sinaloa, Durango, and Zacatecas to Oaxaca. It was previously synonymized with Quercus pennivenia, but this was restored as an independent species in 2020.
