This type is found on gently to moderately sloping outcrops of felsic rocks with irregular or undulating surfaces but few crevices, and is characterized predominantly by graminoids and low shrubs in fairly shallow soil mats. It includes drier examples where <i>Schizachyrium scoparium, Danthonia</i> spp., or other dry-site grasses predominate. This community is distinguished by the predominance of somewhat deeper soil mats, capable of supporting grasses. Grassy mats and low-shrub patches are prominent, but lichen-covered bare rock and thin mats dominated by <i>Selaginella</i> spp. are often present. Trees may be dispersed throughout the community. This type is similar to a granitic dome, but it has more soil, less exposed bedrock, and the vegetation is more stable |

This dry-mesic white oak - mixed oak alkaline forest community is found in unglaciated areas of the Interior Highlands of the east-central United States. Stands occur on gentle to steep slopes with moderately to well-drained moist loamy/sandy, relatively neutral to basic soils, which are underlain by bedrock of limestone and less commonly sandstone, siltstone, or shale. Soils may be shallow to somewhat deep (20-100 cm), with rock fragments present. The canopy is dense, yet enough scattered light penetrates to encourage a rich and diverse herbaceous layer, especially in the spring. Typical tree dominants include <i>Quercus alba, Quercus rubra, Quercus velutina</i>, and <i>Quercus muehlenbergii</i>. Typical associates include <i>Carya ovata, Carya tomentosa</i>, and <i>Liriodendron tulipifera</i>. Other shade-tolerant tree associates that may dominate the subcanopy include <i>Acer saccharum</i> (or possibly <i>Acer floridanum</i> to the south), <i>Ulmus rubra, Juglans nigra, Fraxinus americana, Ostrya virginiana, Carpinus caroliniana</i>, and <i>Amelanchier arborea</i>. <i>Quercus muehlenbergii</i> is a key, but perhaps uncommon, indicator of the more neutral to alkaline soil characteristics of this type. Typical shrubs include <i>Aesculus glabra, Asimina triloba, Cercis canadensis, Cornus florida, Euonymus americanus, Frangula caroliniana</i>, and <i>Viburnum rufidulum</i>. Woody vines include <i>Parthenocissus quinquefolia</i> and <i>Toxicodendron radicans</i>. Herbaceous species include <i>Anemone virginiana, Arisaema triphyllum, Botrychium virginianum, Carex jamesii, Actaea racemosa, Desmodium glutinosum, Desmodium rotundifolium, Dioscorea quaternata, Goodyera pubescens, Hybanthus concolor, Iris cristata, Maianthemum racemosum, Passiflora lutea</i>, and <i>Sanicula canadensis</i>. These forests occur in habitats transitional between mesic to wet riparian and floodplain communities and the drier ridgetop ecosystems. |

This saturated longleaf pine - slash pine woodland community occurs in pineland swales and is restricted in distribution to the Atlantic Coastal Plain from South Carolina and Georgia. Stands are dominated by <i>Pinus palustris</i> and <i>Pinus elliottii var. elliottii</i>. The shrub and herb layers are respectively characterized by the presence or partial dominance of <i>Styrax americanus</i> and <i>Sporobolus floridanus</i>. Additional description to be added from North Carolina Vegetation Survey data. |
