Name: Quercus montana - Quercus alba / Oxydendrum arboreum / Vitis rotundifolia Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This forest, dominated by <i>Quercus montana</i>, occurs mainly on resistant ridges (monadnocks) over felsic rock of the Piedmont from North Carolina to Alabama. Soils that are well-drained, acidic and nutrient-poor contribute to low species richness. <i>Quercus montana</i> is dominant or codominant in some occurrences with <i>Quercus alba</i>. Other canopy species include <i>Quercus falcata, Carya tomentosa, Quercus marilandica, Quercus coccinea, Nyssa sylvatica, Acer rubrum, Pinus echinata</i>, and <i>Quercus stellata</i>. The subcanopy is dominated by <i>Oxydendrum arboreum</i> with <i>Cornus florida</i>. The herb and shrub layers are sparse, with <i>Vitis rotundifolia</i> as a typical component.
