Name: Quercus montana - Quercus marilandica Piedmont Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This broadly defined type represents woodland vegetation dominated by <i>Quercus montana</i> and <i>Quercus marilandica</i> found in the Piedmont of South Carolina and Georgia. Examples are typically found on south- to west-facing slopes. Stands are dominated by <i>Quercus montana</i> and <i>Quercus marilandica</i>, which may be widely spaced and dwarfed. <i>Pinus echinata</i> and <i>Carya pallida</i> may also be present. Exposure and topography contribute to maintenance of the woodland physiognomy. Canopy, subcanopy, and shrub strata may all be sparse in coverage. Rocks (typically quartzite exposures) are present at the surface. <i>Vaccinium pallidum</i> and <i>Vaccinium stamineum</i> are typical in the shrub layer. <i>Vaccinium arboreum</i> and <i>Crataegus spathulata</i> may also be present. Examples at Franklin D. Roosevelt Park (Georgia) and Kings Mountain National Military Park (South Carolina) typically occur downslope from <i>Quercus montana</i>-dominated monadnock forests over quartzite-influenced soils.
