Name: Thuja occidentalis / Oligoneuron album Rocky Outcrop
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This open calcareous rock vegetation, with scattered <i>Thuja occidentalis</i> trees, occurs on ridgetops in the northeastern lakeplains of New Hampshire, New York and Vermont. This is a rare community. Ecological processes and species composition are most similar to the red oak - pine rocky ridge and red spruce - heath - cinquefoil rocky ridge communities described elsewhere, with which it shares many species [see those descriptions]. Soils are similar to other rocky ridges as well, with thin, turfy organic and A horizons over thin, gravelly or sandy B or C horizons. They are well- to excessively well-drained and of low overall productivity.
