Description:
This is a dry-mesic, deciduous white oak - southern red oak forest found at lower elevations (200-550 m; 700-1800 feet) in the Ridge and Valley and the adjacent southern part of the Southern Blue Ridge, in Tennessee and possibly adjacent Georgia. This includes the gentle slopes and shallow dry-mesic drains of the more-or-less flat metasedimentary surface of Chilhowee Mountain, Tennessee. The canopy is dominated by Quercus alba and Quercus falcata, possibly with Quercus stellata and Quercus velutina, typically with lower cover by Quercus stellata, Quercus coccinea, and/or Quercus muehlenbergii. The hickory species Carya alba, Carya glabra, and Carya ovata may also be present or codominant. Dominance by pines (e.g., Pinus echinata, Pinus strobus, Pinus virginiana) should be less than 25%. The subcanopy typically contains Oxydendrum arboreum, Nyssa sylvatica, Acer rubrum, Carya glabra, and Pinus strobus. Shrubs and other woody plants that may be present include Carya pallida, Cornus florida, Rhododendron calendulaceum, Tsuga canadensis, Sassafras albidum, Ostrya virginiana, Amelanchier arborea, and Magnolia fraseri.
