This association includes mostly evergreen woodlands dominated by <i>Pinus pungens</i> and/or <i>Pinus rigida</i>, occurring over a dense ericaceous shrub stratum, on sharp ridges, mostly above 610 m (2000 feet) elevation in the Southern Blue Ridge. This type is also found in limited areas of the inner Piedmont and Cumberland Mountains. This woodland occurs across a wide elevational range (485-1220 m [1600-4000 feet]), on exposed ridges and upper slopes with southerly and westerly exposures, over thin, excessively drained, nutrient-poor soils, and can be associated with rock outcroppings. Canopy coverage can often approach that of a forest, especially in areas where fire has been excluded and deciduous species have significant coverage. Deciduous species that can be important, particularly in the subcanopy, include <i>Quercus prinus, Quercus coccinea, Quercus stellata, Nyssa sylvatica, Acer rubrum</i>, and <i>Oxydendrum arboreum</i>. <i>Pinus virginiana, Pinus echinata</i>, and <i>Pinus strobus</i> can have high coverage and even codominate on some sites. The shrub stratum is dominated by ericaceous species, typically <i>Kalmia latifolia</i> and <i>Leucothoe recurva</i> in the tall-shrub stratum and <i>Vaccinium pallidum</i> as a low shrub. Other shrub species vary with location but include <i>Vaccinium stamineum, Vaccinium simulatum, Vaccinium pallidum, Vaccinium hirsutum, Vaccinium corymbosum, Rhododendron maximum, Rhododendron minus, Gaylussacia ursina, Gaylussacia baccata, Buckleya distichophylla, Pyrularia pubera</i>, and <i>Fothergilla major</i>. Species commonly found in the sparse herb stratum include <i>Chimaphila maculata, Galax urceolata, Pteridium aquilinum var. latiusculum, Xerophyllum asphodeloides, Chamaelirium luteum, Comptonia peregrina, Leiophyllum buxifolium, Gaultheria procumbens, Iris verna, Dichanthelium</i> spp., and <i>Epigaea repens</i>, although herbaceous species composition will vary within the range of this community. <i>Smilax glauca</i> is a common vine. Without periodic fire, this community will gradually succeed into forests dominated by <i>Acer rubrum</i> or <i>Quercus prinus</i> and <i>Quercus coccinea</i>, except on the most extreme sites, where this vegetation is self-perpetuating. It is thought that woodlands dominated by <i>Pinus pungens</i> are associated with more xeric conditions than woodlands dominated by <i>Pinus pungens</i> in combination with other tree species. |

This association includes natural stands of forest vegetation with a canopy dominated by <i>Pinus strobus</i>. This community occurs at lower elevations (below 900 m) in the Southern Blue Ridge region of the Southern Appalachians on upper slopes and ridgetops protected by higher landforms. Other minor canopy species may include <i>Pinus rigida, Quercus coccinea</i>, and <i>Acer rubrum</i>. These forests often have open subcanopies composed of <i>Oxydendrum arboreum, Acer rubrum, Nyssa sylvatica</i>, and <i>Cornus florida</i>. The shrub stratum is patchy to continuous and dominated by ericaceous species, typically <i>Gaylussacia ursina</i>, or <i>Vaccinium stamineum</i>, and <i>Kalmia latifolia</i>. Other common species in the shrub/sapling stratum may include <i>Gaylussacia baccata, Vaccinium pallidum, Acer rubrum</i>, and <i>Castanea dentata</i>. Typical herbaceous species include <i>Galax urceolata, Chimaphila maculata, Goodyera pubescens, Epigaea repens, Medeola virginiana, Lysimachia quadrifolia, Uvularia puberula</i>, and <i>Chamaelirium luteum</i>. |

Pinus taeda - Liriodendron tulipifera / Acer saccharum Ruderal Forest

This successional forest dominated by <i>Pinus taeda</i> has low levels of hardwoods present in the overstory and a potentially well-developed subcanopy. <i>Liriodendron tulipifera</i> and/or <i>Acer saccharum</i> (or <i>Acer barbatum</i> within its range) are characteristic species of this community that broadly indicate stands found in the most interior portions of the range of <i>Pinus taeda</i> in the southeastern United States; more southerly stands with <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i> are covered by another association [see ~<i>Pinus taeda - Liquidambar styraciflua</i> Semi-natural Forest (CEGL008462)$$]. <i>Liriodendron tulipifera</i> may reach the canopy but generally comprises less than 25% of total cover. In addition to <i>Liriodendron tulipifera</i>, a variety of other canopy species are possible. Other woody species documented in plots include <i>Acer rubrum, Prunus serotina var. serotina, Quercus velutina, Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana, Cornus florida</i>, and <i>Carya</i> spp. Examples over limestone may include <i>Fraxinus americana,</i><i> Celtis laevigata</i>, or <i>Ulmus</i> sp. The herbaceous and shrub strata may contain <i>Toxicodendron radicans, Smilax rotundifolia, Goodyera pubescens, Chimaphila maculata, Galium circaezans, Galium pilosum, Parthenocissus quinquefolia, Polystichum acrostichoides, Pleopeltis polypodioides, Matelea</i> sp., and <i>Vaccinium</i> spp. |
