Description: This community occurs on submesic Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain bluffs. The canopy is dominated by Quercus alba, Quercus nigra, Quercus falcata, with lesser amounts of Carya pallida, Nyssa sylvatica, and others. Additional species which may be present as common components primarily as a result of disturbance include Pinus taeda, Acer rubrum var. rubrum, and Liquidambar styraciflua. The subcanopy includes canopy species as well as Ilex opaca var. opaca, Oxydendrum arboreum, and Cornus florida.
