This mixed oak association includes dry, deciduous forests of low elevations (below 915 m [3000 feet]) in the Southern Blue Ridge, associated with sandy, dry soils derived from granitic gneiss and other related acidic substrates. This association is known as a matrix forest type in the area of Brevard, North Carolina, where it occurs on open slopes and broad ridges, in a landscape of a low, rolling plateau. It appears to extend south into South Carolina. These forests have canopies dominated by <i>Quercus alba, Quercus coccinea, Quercus falcata, Quercus velutina</i>, and sometimes <i>Quercus montana</i>, although other species can be present, including <i>Pinus echinata, Pinus virginiana</i>, and <i>Pinus rigida</i>. This forest is characterized by having associated species more typical of lower, non-montane areas, such as <i>Quercus falcata, Schizachyrium scoparium, Silphium compositum, Baptisia tinctoria</i>, and <i>Piptochaetium avenaceum</i>, and by the absence of species more typical in mesic, montane oak forests, including <i>Medeola virginiana, Maianthemum racemosum, Thelypteris noveboracensis, Athyrium filix-femina ssp. asplenioides, Dennstaedtia punctilobula</i>, and <i>Dryopteris intermedia)</i>. The shrub stratum can be quite open, with <i>Rhododendron calendulaceum</i> typical. <i>Kalmia latifolia</i> and <i>Vaccinium pallidum</i> are usually present in moderate abundance. <i>Solidago odora var. odora</i> and <i>Pteridium aquilinum var. latiusculum</i> are typical herb components. |

This depression pond community, dominated by <i>Amphicarpum muehlenbergianum</i>, is found nearly throughout Florida with the exception of south Florida. In addition, <i>Panicum hemitomon</i> may be present or may dominate adjacent zones. This association is intended to accommodate distinctive stands with dominance or at least codominance by <i>Amphicarpum muehlenbergianum</i>. This species is primarily found in Florida and southern Georgia, and is rare or absent in other southeastern states. |

This association is known from parts of central and south coastal California. This woodland association occurs on gentle to steep slopes with variable aspects at low elevations between 40 and 577 m. It is dominated by <i>Quercus agrifolia</i> in the tree layer. <i>Toxicodendron diversilobum</i> is characteristic in the understory shrub layer, and a variety of grasses and forbs are in the herbaceous layer. |

This montane wetland occurs as a mosaic or zoned pattern of shrub thickets and herb-dominated areas, much of it underlain by <i>Sphagnum</i> mats. All or nearly all examples are flat and occur in the higher portions of the floodplains of creeks or small rivers, receive minimal seepage, and are rarely or never flooded. This community occurs at moderate elevations from about 750-950 m (2400-3200 feet), in the northern part of the Southern Blue Ridge, primarily in Allegheny and Ashe counties, North Carolina. It also occurs south of the Asheville Basin in southwestern North Carolina and probably in adjacent South Carolina and Georgia at elevations of 900-1200 m (3000-4000 feet). Trees such as <i>Acer rubrum, Liriodendron tulipifera, Pinus strobus, Tsuga canadensis</i>, and <i>Pinus rigida</i> may be scattered throughout or may dominate in patches or on the edges. Shrubs may include <i>Alnus serrulata, Rosa palustris, Salix sericea, Photinia pyrifolia (= Aronia arbutifolia), Photinia melanocarpa (= Aronia melanocarpa), Rhododendron maximum, Rhododendron viscosum, Kalmia latifolia, Kalmia carolina, Hypericum densiflorum, Lyonia ligustrina, Ilex verticillata, Spiraea tomentosa, Spiraea alba</i>, and <i>Menziesia pilosa</i>. The herb layer may include <i>Carex leptalea, Carex folliculata, Carex gynandra, Carex atlantica, Rhynchospora capitellata, Scirpus expansus, Scirpus cyperinus, Scirpus atrovirens, Osmunda cinnamomea, Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis, Solidago patula var. patula, Packera aurea (= Senecio aureus), Thelypteris palustris var. pubescens, Juncus effusus, Juncus subcaudatus, Lysimachia terrestris, Vaccinium macrocarpon, Eriophorum virginicum, Oxypolis rigidior, Sagittaria latifolia (= var. pubescens)</i>, and <i>Orontium aquaticum</i>. <i>Sphagnum</i> species include <i>Sphagnum palustre, Sphagnum affine (= Sphagnum imbricatum), Sphagnum bartlettianum</i>, and <i>Sphagnum recurvum</i>. Other important bryophytes include <i>Polytrichum commune, Rhizomnium appalachianum</i>, and <i>Aulacomnium palustre</i>. |

This calciphilic maple-oak forest is found in the Central Appalachians and adjacent regions of the eastern United States, ranging south and west to the Interior Low Plateau of Tennessee and the Cumberlands of Alabama. Stands occur in thin soils over calcareous substrates, sometimes in association with limestone glades. These are typically closed-canopy, rich, dry to dry-mesic forests; in some stands the canopy may vary from closed to somewhat open, particularly in Pennsylvania at the northern edge of the range. In the Mid-Atlantic region, stands occupying the driest sites are commonly open and somewhat intermediate in physiognomy between forest and woodland. The stands are primarily composed of <i>Acer saccharum</i> or occasionally <i>Acer nigrum, Quercus muehlenbergii, Fraxinus americana</i>, and <i>Ostrya virginiana</i>. Associates include <i>Quercus alba, Tilia americana, Acer nigrum, Ulmus rubra, Celtis occidentalis, Carya ovalis</i>, and <i>Carya ovata</i>. <i>Quercus prinus</i> may also be present in some examples. A variable subcanopy and shrub layer contains <i>Cornus florida, Cercis canadensis, Hamamelis virginiana, Rosa carolina, Rhus aromatica, Viburnum prunifolium, Viburnum rafinesquianum, Viburnum rufidulum</i>, and <i>Zanthoxylum americanum</i>. The sparse to well-developed herb layer may contain <i>Danthonia spicata, Elymus hystrix, Bouteloua curtipendula, Ageratina altissima (= Eupatorium rugosum), Antennaria plantaginifolia, Aquilegia canadensis, Arabis laevigata, Asclepias quadrifolia, Clematis occidentalis</i> (to the north), <i>Houstonia longifolia (= Houstonia tenuifolia), Polygonum scandens, Sanicula canadensis, Saxifraga virginiensis</i>, and <i>Packera obovata (= Senecio obovatus)</i>. Some other herbs recorded in Virginia examples include <i>Agrimonia rostellata, Anemone virginiana var. virginiana, Symphyotrichum patens var. patens (= Aster patens var. patens), Bromus pubescens, Dichanthelium boscii, Erigeron pulchellus var. pulchellus, Galium circaezans, Sanicula canadensis, Scutellaria elliptica</i>, and <i>Solidago ulmifolia var. ulmifolia</i>. Some stands attributed to this type are mesic forests of steep slopes in the Southern Ridge and Valley which are dominated by <i>Acer saccharum</i> and some combination of <i>Quercus alba</i> and/or <i>Quercus muehlenbergii</i> with <i>Liriodendron tulipifera, Carya</i> spp., and <i>Aesculus flava</i> in either the canopy or subcanopy. The same, or related forests, are reported from limestones of the lower Cumberland Plateau escarpment of Tennessee and possibly Alabama. |
