An oak savanna is a type of savanna—or lightly forested grassland—where oaks (Quercus spp.) are the dominant trees. The terms "oakery" or "woodlands" are also used commonly, though the former is more prevalent when referencing the Mediterranean area.[1] These savannas were maintained historically through wildfires set by lightning, humans, grazing, low precipitation, and/or poor soil.
