This Piedmont forest occurs on soils derived from mafic rocks, in the Carolina Slate Belt and possibly elsewhere. The canopy is dominated by <i>Quercus alba</i> and <i>Quercus stellata</i>. Also present and diagnostic of this type are woody species indicative of rich, circumneutral, or mafic conditions in the region, especially <i>Carya carolinae-septentrionalis, Ostrya virginiana, Cercis canadensis var. canadensis, Acer leucoderme, Fraxinus americana</i>, and <i>Ulmus alata</i>. Other woody species may include <i>Carya glabra, Carya alba, Pinus echinata, Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana, Cornus florida, Quercus phellos, Acer rubrum var. rubrum</i>, and <i>Ilex decidua</i>. Shrubs and woody vines include <i>Vaccinium arboreum</i> and <i>Vitis rotundifolia</i>. The herb stratum is sparse and has scattered individuals of species such as <i>Danthonia spicata, Clitoria mariana, Chimaphila maculata, Scleria</i> sp., and <i>Asplenium platyneuron</i>. |

This is a mesic forest described from the northern parts of the Upper East Gulf Coastal Plain, ranging from Kentucky south to Tennessee and possibly northern Alabama. Its full range is not known. Stands are found on lower toeslopes above cypress or bottomland hardwood forests. It was initially described from Kentucky (Marshall, McCracken, and Carlisle counties). Typical canopy trees include Quercus phellos, Quercus michauxii, Quercus pagoda, Quercus falcata, and Quercus stellata. These are often mixed with swamp species like Quercus palustris and upland forest species like Quercus alba. Flooding occurs in winter, and groundwater probably remains high through most years, but upper soil horizons may become relatively dry in the summer. Forests upslope are dominated by Quercus alba and Quercus falcata. More information is needed on this vegetation across its range. |

This subcalcareous or circumneutral vegetation of the Upper West Gulf Coastal Plain is dominated by <i>Quercus stellata</i>. Other species indicative of high pH and/or high nutrient status are also present, such as <i>Quercus muehlenbergii, Quercus shumardii</i>, or <i>Ulmus crassifolia</i>. <i>Symphoricarpos orbiculatus</i> is also a characteristic species of this habitat in at least parts of the region; it is typically lacking from both calcareous prairies and acidic forests. A thick layer of <i>Crataegus</i> spp. is also often present. Sedges, especially <i>Carex cherokeensis</i> and <i>Carex albicans</i>, are abundant in the understory. Grass cover and composition are highly variable in part due to the openness of the stands and the influence of fire. This woodland community may occur in relatively narrow bands (15-60 m [50-200 feet] wide) or ecotones between forested uplands (usually pine-dominated) on neutral to slightly acidic soils and alkaline prairies. The location and size of the community appear to be dependent on the steepness of the transition between soil types. The larger post oak woodlands occur on shallower transitions and may also be a function of the fire regime. |

This forest occurs on mesic slopes along the southwestern periphery of the West Gulf Coastal Plain. <i>Quercus hemisphaerica</i> and <i>Quercus alba</i> are strongly dominant in the overstory of most known examples. The midstory is dominated by <i>Viburnum acerifolium</i> and <i>Persea borbonia</i>, with <i>Mitchella repens</i> and <i>Smilax pumila</i> in the understory. The small geographic region where this type has been documented is near the southwestern range terminus of many typically southeastern species, and lies just outside the range of several important species in related mesic forests which occur just eastward of this type, such as <i>Fagus grandifolia, Acer rubrum, Acer barbatum</i>, as well as many rich forest herbs. |
