Description:
This closed-canopy, dry deciduous forest of the High Allegheny Plateau and central Appalachian Mountains occurs on sandy or rocky soil on dry upper slopes and terraces of sandstone, siltstone, chert, or shale. The tree canopy is dominated by Quercus velutina, Quercus alba, Carya glabra, and Carya ovata. Associates include Carya alba, Nyssa sylvatica, Acer rubrum, Sassafras albidum, Quercus falcata, Quercus rubra, and Prunus serotina. Typical shrubs and small trees are Cornus florida, Corylus americana, Ostrya virginiana, and Sassafras albidum. Typical herbs include Agrimonia rostellata, Amphicarpaea bracteata, Botrychium virginianum, Carex blanda, Danthonia spicata, Antennaria plantaginifolia, and Desmodium nudiflorum. Disturbance such as windthrow and logging favor Quercus velutina and Betula lenta.
