These seasonally flooded peat depressions are found from South Carolina to Florida and are dominated or codominated by <i>Carex striata var. striata</i>. Some areas are codominated by <i>Xyris fimbriata</i> and/or <i>Lachnanthes caroliana</i>. Other species may include <i>Dulichium arundinaceum, Rhynchospora inundata, Rhynchospora cephalantha, Rhynchospora fascicularis, Syngonanthus flavidulus, Eleocharis microcarpa, Sarracenia minor, Xyris smalliana, Drosera intermedia</i>, and <i>Lipocarpha micrantha</i>. <i>Sphagnum</i> spp. are typically abundant. |

The known range of this vegetation type includes the extreme northern end of the Southern Blue Ridge, the western flank of the Northern Blue Ridge, and the Ridge and Valley region of Virginia and Maryland. The likely global range encompasses the entire Central Appalachian extent of these provinces in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. Stands are generally confined to low elevations, up to about 840 m (2760 feet), but exceptionally to 1100 m (3600 feet). Habitats are mostly steep, south- to west-facing, middle to upper slopes with abundant shale outcrops, loose stones, and exposed mineral soils. However, substrates appear to be relatively stable and lack the ongoing erosional processes of shale barrens, which these habitats often border on the landscape. Slope shape is typically convex in at least one direction. Site moisture potential is very low. This community is an open to very open woodland dominated by <i>Quercus montana</i>. Overstory trees are often stunted and gnarled. <i>Quercus rubra</i> and <i>Carya glabra</i> are constant, usually minor canopy associates that attain codominance with <i>Quercus montana</i> locally. <i>Pinus virginiana</i> is an important canopy associate in some situations, but is entirely absent from other stands of the type. Understory tree layers are sparse, consisting mostly of younger reproduction of the canopy species. <i>Quercus ilicifolia, Vaccinium stamineum</i>, and <i>Vaccinium pallidum</i> are the chief species of a patchy shrub layer, which may also include <i>Rosa carolina, Amelanchier arborea</i>, and <i>Viburnum rafinesqueanum</i>. <i>Quercus ilicifolia</i> usually forms open colonies in this community type, rather than the dense thickets characteristic in pyrophytic pine-oak/heath vegetation. The herb layer is typically quite patchy and sparse but contains a surprising diversity of xerophytic graminoids and forbs. |

This temporarily flooded forest occurs in the floodplain of small streams in ravines of the Ridge and Valley and adjacent Piedmont of Alabama. Frequency and duration of flooding are not known, but the duration probably is not long. The canopy is fairly open and dominated by <i>Fagus grandifolia, Quercus alba, Liquidambar styraciflua, Liriodendron tulipifera</i>, and <i>Acer rubrum var. rubrum</i>. The shrub layer contains <i>Kalmia latifolia, Rhododendron canescens, Symplocos tinctoria, Hamamelis virginiana, Oxydendrum arboreum, Arundinaria gigantea, Acer leucoderme</i>, and <i>Hydrangea quercifolia</i>. The herbaceous layer may contain <i>Carex picta, Mitchella repens, Chimaphila maculata, Uvularia sessilifolia, Toxicodendron radicans</i>, and <i>Polystichum acrostichoides</i>, and varies somewhat from stand to stand. The hydrology of stands assigned here is variously interpreted as mesic (not a wetland), temporarily flooded, and intermittently flooded. As is typical with examples of this alliance, flooding may be for very short duration and does not strongly affect the floristics of the type. |

This association is found on limestone uplands characterized by shallow, rocky "Redlands" soils in the Lampasas Cutplain and other areas of the Edwards Plateau in Texas. The canopy is dominated by Quercus stellata (post oak). Ulmus crassifolia (cedar elm) may codominate and occasionally be the canopy dominant. Other canopy species include Quercus marilandica (blackjack oak), Quercus fusiformis (plateau oak), and Fraxinus texensis (Texas ash). Without fire, Juniperus ashei will increase in importance and stature, eventually occupying part of the canopy with the oaks and presenting greater canopy closure. In intermediate stages, an oak canopy will overtop a subcanopy of Juniperus ashei (Ashe's juniper). Shrubs include Forestiera pubescens (stretchberry), Toxicodendron radicans (eastern poison ivy), Rhus lanceolata (prairie sumac), Ilex decidua (possumhaw), Lonicera albiflora (western white honeysuckle), Sideroxylon lanuginosum (gum bully), Cercis canadensis (eastern redbud), and Viburnum rufidulum (rusty blackhaw). Woody cover can vary greatly, with some examples being very open with few shrubs and other examples with cover approaching that of a forest. Drier, rockier, or more frequently burned examples will tend to exhibit an oak woodland physiognomy. Herbaceous openings may contain Schizachyrium scoparium (little bluestem), Aristida purpurea (purple threeawn), Sorghastrum nutans (Indiangrass), Bouteloua curtipendula (sideoats grama), Bouteloua rigidiseta (Texas grama), Nassella leucotricha (Texas tussockgrass), Schedonnardus paniculatus (tumblegrass), Carex muehlenbergii (Muhlenberg's sedge), and Carex planostachys (cedar sedge). Forb cover is usually low but may include Vernonia baldwinii (Baldwin's ironweed), Croton monanthogynus (prairie tea), Tragia ramosa (branched noseburn), Symphyotrichum drummondii (Drummond's aster), Ruellia humilis (fringeleaf wild petunia), and Vernonia lindheimeri (woolly ironweed). In degraded examples, the ground layer may have a high cover of the invasive grasses Bothriochloa ischaemum (yellow bluestem) and Bromus japonicus (Japanese brome). |
