Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community is a mid-Atlantic near-coastal forest that occurs on the North Carolina and South Carolina mainland on dry-mesic to mesic soils with a substantial shell component. The canopy is a diverse mix of maritime and calciphilic species, with <i>Quercus hemisphaerica, Quercus virginiana, Carya glabra, Quercus falcata, Tilia americana var. caroliniana, Magnolia grandiflora, Sabal palmetto, Ulmus rubra</i>, and/or <i>Liriodendron tulipifera</i> dominant or abundant. Subcanopy species include <i>Persea palustris, Ilex opaca var. opaca, Nyssa sylvatica, Acer barbatum</i>, and <i>Cornus florida</i>. Frequent shrubs include <i>Ilex vomitoria, Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera), Sabal minor, Aesculus pavia var. pavia</i>, and <i>Callicarpa americana</i>. Woody vines are abundant and diverse. Common herbs include <i>Mitchella repens, Polystichum acrostichoides, Scleria triglomerata, Dichanthelium boscii</i>, and <i>Galium</i> spp. Similar sites may occur south of North Carolina and northern South Carolina, but are probably not common. Additional information will be added from North Carolina Vegetation Survey plot data. Further information from South Carolina is needed to determine the extent and classification of this community.
