This type is a nutrient-rich, calcareous to subcalcareous, mesic Coastal Plain forest found east of the Mississippi River, extending to the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain of North Carolina. Stands are typically dominated by <i>Quercus alba</i> and<i> Carya</i> spp. <i>Aesculus pavia</i> is characteristically present in the understory and shrub layer. Some other canopy components include <i>Quercus nigra, Carya cordiformis</i> (in more mesic examples), <i>Carya pallida</i> (in drier ones), <i>Fraxinus americana, Liriodendron tulipifera</i>, and <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i>. The subcanopy may contain <i>Liquidambar styraciflua, Liriodendron tulipifera, Cornus florida, Nyssa sylvatica, Morus rubra, Celtis occidentalis, Ostrya virginiana, Acer rubrum, Diospyros virginiana, Prunus serotina, Ulmus alata</i>, and/or <i>Quercus velutina</i>. <i>Fagus grandifolia</i> may be present in any of the woody strata but will not be dominant or codominant. Typical vines include <i>Vitis rotundifolia, Parthenocissus quinquefolia, Cocculus carolinus, Smilax bona-nox, Smilax glauca, Berchemia scandens</i>, and <i>Toxicodendron radicans</i>. More information is needed on the detailed range, environment, and floristics of this association. |

These forests occur in small stream floodplains in the Coastal Plain and lower Piedmont with forest vegetation of mixed hydrological tolerances, due to fluvial landforms too small and hydrologic regime too variable to differentiate separate associated communities. The canopy of stands always includes substantial <i>Nyssa biflora</i> or <i>Taxodium distichum</i> along with substantial bottomland oaks (e.g., <i>Quercus nigra, Quercus laurifolia</i>) and other bottomland hardwoods, along with <i>Pinus taeda</i>. Typical subcanopy components include <i>Ilex opaca</i> and <i>Carpinus caroliniana</i>. The shrub stratum typically includes <i>Leucothoe axillaris</i> and <i>Cyrilla racemiflora</i>. |

This shrubland is a zonal component of Central Basin (Tennessee) limestone cedar glades; also found on limestone outcrops of Alabama Cumberland Plateau and Moulton Valley glade systems, as well as on the Pennyroyal Karst Plain of Kentucky. Characteristic shrubs include Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana, Rhus aromatica var. aromatica, Frangula caroliniana, Forestiera ligustrina, Berchemia scandens, Hypericum frondosum, Sideroxylon lycioides, and stunted individuals of Acer saccharum, Quercus muehlenbergii, Quercus shumardii, Fraxinus americana, and Ulmus alata. Alabama occurrences may contain an occasional Aesculus pavia. A low 'herbaceous' stratum is dominated by Cheilanthes lanosa, Pleurochaete squarrosa, Thuidium delicatulum, Climacium americanum, Cladonia spp., and Opuntia humifusa. Typically grades into open, herbaceous-dominated glades, or into woodlands or forests commonly dominated by Quercus muehlenbergii, Fraxinus americana, and Celtis laevigata. The substrate consists of broken fragments of flat-bedded sedimentary limestone, with accumulations of shallow soil. Alabama and Kentucky occurrences are rare and of restricted distribution and limited extent. |

This plant association is described from sites in the Eastern Cascades, Blue Mountains, and Bitterroot Valley ecoregional sections. Stands are also reported from the southwestern portion of the Idaho Batholith section. The association occurs on steep, south-facing, mid to upper slopes at 1900-5500 feet elevation (typically at higher elevation in the eastern portion of the range). Soils are typically dry, shallow, and rocky. A high exposure of rock and surface soil is common. Relatively open stands of Purshia tridentata occur with Pseudoroegneria spicata and Balsamorhiza sagittata. Poa secunda and Lomatium dissectum are often also present. |
