A coastal marsh community that occurs in sheltered areas of the seacoast, in a zone extending from mean high tide up to the limit of spring tides. It is periodically flooded by spring tides and flood tides. High salt marsh typically consists of a mosaic of patches that are mostly dominated by a single graminoid species.
The dominant species in many large areas are either salt-meadow grass (Spartina patens) or a dwarf form (15 to 30 cm tall) of cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora); also common are large areas dominated by spikegrass (Distichlis spicata), black-grass (Juncus gerardii), and glassworts (Salicornia spp.), or a mixture of salt-meadow grass and cordgrass. Characteristic species of the upper slope of the high marsh (the area that grades into salt shrub) are black-grass, switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), sea-lavender (Limonium carolinianum), seaside gerardia (Agalinus maritima), and slender saltmarsh aster (Aster tenuifolius).
Characteristic animals include salt marsh mosquitoes (Aedes spp.), greenhead flies (Tabanidae), coffeebean snail (Melampus bidentatus), sharp-tailed sparrow (Ammodramus caudacutus), marsh wren (Cistothorus palustris), eastern meadowlark (Sturnella magna), clapper rail (Rallus longirostris), and American black duck (Anas rubripes).
coastal salt marsh ecosystem; it occurs in a complex mosaic with several other communities. Other communities in a salt marsh ecosystem include salt shrub and brackish meadow at the upland border of the high marsh; sea level fen in rare cases associated with freshwater seepage at the landward edge; low salt marsh at the seaward border of the high marsh and along the edges of tidal creeks that drain the high marsh; and salt pannes in shallow depressions within the marsh.
High salt marshes can be further classified by landform type following Oertel and Woo (1994) into mainland fringe-marshes, mid-lagoon marshes, and backbarrier fringe-marshes. |

A hardwood forest that occurs on well-drained sites, usually on ridgetops, upper slopes, or south- and west-facing slopes. The soils are usually loams or sandy loams. This is a broadly defined forest community with several regional and edaphic variants.
The dominant trees include one or more of the following oaks: red oak (Quercus rubra), white oak (Q. alba), and black oak (Q. velutina). Mixed with the oaks, usually at lower densities, are one or more of the following hickories: pignut (Carya glabra), shagbark (C. ovata), and sweet pignut (C. ovalis). Common associates are white ash (Fraxinus americana), red maple (Acer rubrum), and hop hornbeam (Ostrya virginiana).
There is typically a subcanopy stratum of small trees and tall shrubs including flowering dogwood (Cornus florida), witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana), shadbush (Amelanchier arborea), and choke cherry (Prunus virginiana). Common low shrubs include maple-leaf viburnum (Viburnum acerifolium), blueberries (Vaccinium angustifolium, V. pallidum), red raspberry (Rubus idaeus), gray dogwood (Cornus foemina ssp. racemosa), and beaked hazelnut (Corylus cornuta). The shrublayer and groundlayer flora may be diverse.
Characteristic groundlayer herbs are wild sarsaparilla (Aralia nudicaulis), false Solomon's seal (Maianthemum racemosum), Pennsylvania sedge (Carex pensylvanica), tick-trefoil (Desmodium glutinosum, D. paniculatum), black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa), rattlesnake root (Prenanthes alba), white goldenrod (Solidago bicolor), mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum), and hepatica (Hepatica americana).
Characteristic animals include red-bellied woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus), whip-poor-will (Caprimulgus vociferus), and wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo). |

This shrubland association occurs on steep to very steep northeast- and northwest-facing slopes at low elevations between 125 and 591 m. It is characterized by a codominance of <i>Toxicodendron diversilobum</i> and <i>Diplacus aurantiacus (= Mimulus aurantiacus)</i> in the shrub layer. There are no characteristic species in the herbaceous layer. The emergent tree layer includes <i>Quercus agrifolia</i> in about half the stands. |
