This association occurs on steep slopes and protected ridges, over shallow, stony soils. The canopy is composed of <i>Picea rubens</i> codominating with the deciduous species <i>Betula alleghaniensis, Fagus grandifolia</i>, and <i>Aesculus flava</i>, occurring singly or in combination. At higher elevations, <i>Abies fraseri</i> may be a minor canopy component. The shrub stratum is open to absent. <i>Viburnum lantanoides</i> is a common shrub, and <i>Acer pensylvanicum</i> and <i>Amelanchier laevis</i> often occur as small trees. The herbaceous stratum is lush and diverse.
