The community is variable in composition and generally includes <i>Amelanchier canadensis, Prunus serotina, Sassafras albidum, Nyssa sylvatica, Acer rubrum, Juniperus virginiana</i> in the canopy. The oaks <i>Quercus velutina, Quercus stellata, Quercus alba</i> may or may not be present. The shrubs <i>Morella pensylvanica (= Myrica pensylvanica), Photinia</i> spp. (= <i>Aronia</i> spp.), <i>Viburnum</i> spp. may form an understory or contribute substantial cover to the canopy. Vines are often prevalent, including <i>Smilax</i> spp., <i>Vitis</i> spp., <i>Toxicodendron radicans, Parthenocissus quinquefolia</i>. The herbaceous layer is generally sparse. These shrublands are usually very dense, and often maintained in their current state by constant winds and salt spray.
