Description: This community was originally defined from the Ridge and Valley of Tennessee, where it is found on highly eroded, abandoned agricultural land. The concept may apply to other areas where early successional <i>Juniperus virginiana</i> occurs over calcareous substrates. It includes dry-mesic, low- to mid-slope forest vegetation with <i>Pinus virginiana</i> and <i>Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana</i> making up most of the total canopy cover. Other canopy species may include <i>Quercus prinus, Quercus stellata, Quercus velutina, Liriodendron tulipifera, Liquidambar styraciflua</i>, and others. <i>Ulmus alata</i> is prominent in the subcanopy, while other subcanopy species include <i>Cornus florida, Carya ovata</i>, and <i>Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana</i>.
