Characteristic groundlayer species include many ferns: rock polypody (Polypodium virginianum), Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides), marginal wood fern (Dryopteris marginalis), and rusty woodsia (Woodsia ilvensis). Other common herbs include wild sarsaparilla (Aralia nudicaulis). Crustose lichens are abundant on the talus.
Rare snakes of some acidic talus slope woodlands include include copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix) and timber rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus).
Regional variants are known.

A community that occurs along the shores of lakes and streams on outcrops of calcareous rocks such as limestone and dolomite. The vegetation is sparse, most plants are rooted in rock crevices. Mosses and lichens may be common on the rocks.
Characteristic species include wild columbine (Aquilegia canadensis), sedges (Carex eburnea, C. granularis), silky dogwood (Cornus amomum), red osier dogwood (Cornus sericea), and meadow-rue (Thalictrum spp.).

This vegetation type is currently known from high-elevation pastures or grass balds in the Southern Appalachians but is possible throughout the United States and in southern Canada. It represents montane grasslands with many alien species, presumably planted or introduced by grazing animals. <i>Phleum pratense</i>, a native of Europe, is characteristic. Occurrences are variable and patchy, often with local dominance of tall forbs. Other characteristic species include <i>Hieracium caespitosum</i> (alien), <i>Potentilla canadensis</i>, and <i>Ranunculus acris</i> (alien). Stands of this type are maintained by periodic mowing or, in some instances, prescribed burning. |
