This association includes steep, seepy boulderfields dominated by <i>Picea rubens</i>. Well-developed boulderfields have near 100% ground cover of large rocks, with soil present only locally. Plants capable of rooting in moss mats or shallow soil make up most of the community. It is found at slightly higher elevations than and is transitional to ~<i>Betula alleghaniensis / Ribes glandulosum / Polypodium appalachianum</i> Forest (CEGL006124)$$ of lower elevations. This association is distinguished from all other types by having large rocks covering most of the ground (more than 90%) and lower strata composed largely of boulderfield plant species such as <i>Ribes glandulosum, Polypodium appalachianum</i>, and mosses. While many spruce-fir forests of all types are rocky and have shallow soil, this type is reserved for the rare extreme setting of well-developed boulderfields. |

This community is restricted to the highest mountain systems of the Southern and Central Appalachians in eastern Tennessee, western North Carolina, and southwestern Virginia, with disjunct northern outliers on the summits of the Allegheny Mountains of West Virginia. It is found on all topographic positions and is best developed between 1680 and 1990 m (5500-6200 feet) elevation. In West Virginia, it occurs on ridgetops at elevations above 1350 m (4400 feet). This association includes forests of the Southern and Central Appalachians, primarily within the range of <i>Abies fraseri</i>, dominated by <i>Picea rubens</i>, with or without <i>Abies fraseri</i>, occurring over deciduous shrubs, herbs and bryophytes. This community has a characteristic understory of Southern Appalachian endemic species and a conspicuous bryophyte layer. The tree canopy may have standing dead stems of <i>Abies fraseri</i> and extensive patches of <i>Abies fraseri</i> seedlings in canopy gaps. Characteristic species include <i>Sorbus americana, Acer spicatum, Viburnum lantanoides, Athyrium filix-femina ssp. asplenioides, Eurybia chlorolepis (= Aster chlorolepis), Rugelia nudicaulis, Houstonia serpyllifolia, Solidago glomerata, Ptilium crista-castrensis</i>, and <i>Bazzania trilobata</i>. |

This association is a mesic to dry-mesic calcareous forest occurring over limestone in the Florida Panhandle. It has floristic affinities to calcareous forests of the interior South, but also has many species of the southeastern Coastal Plain, including the palms <i>Sabal minor</i> and <i>Rhapidophyllum hystrix</i>. The canopy is dominated by <i>Fraxinus americana, Juglans nigra, Ulmus rubra, Celtis laevigata, Quercus shumardii, Quercus muehlenbergii, Acer barbatum</i>, and <i>Tilia americana var. caroliniana</i>. The subcanopy is dominated by <i>Acer barbatum</i> and <i>Ostrya virginiana</i>, but also contains <i>Carpinus caroliniana ssp. caroliniana, Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana, Cercis canadensis, Morus rubra</i>, and canopy species. Shrubs and woody vines include <i>Ptelea trifoliata, Aesculus pavia var. pavia, Hydrangea quercifolia, Rhapidophyllum hystrix, Sabal minor, Symphoricarpos orbiculatus, Decumaria barbara, Frangula caroliniana, Forestiera ligustrina, Matelea</i> sp., <i>Toxicodendron radicans, Euonymus americanus, Bignonia capreolata</i>, and <i>Callicarpa americana</i>. Herbaceous species include <i>Thelypteris kunthii, Pachysandra procumbens, Aristolochia serpentaria, Spigelia marilandica, Viola walteri, Sanicula</i> spp., <i>Phryma leptostachya, Carex basiantha, Dioscorea quaternata, Sanguinaria canadensis</i>, and <i>Smallanthus uvedalius</i>. |

This association includes mesic hardwood forests dominated by <i>Fagus grandifolia</i> and <i>Liriodendron tulipifera</i> generally lacking an oak component. This forest occurs on slopes in the "lower Piedmont" of Alabama, and related habitats of adjacent and ecologically related provinces (Ridge and Valley, Cumberland Plateau, Interior Low Plateau, and Upper East Gulf Coastal Plain). This type is described from narrow, moderately well-drained floodplains and sheltered coves which have had little or no severe recent disturbance. In addition to the dominants, other important canopy/subcanopy species include <i>Acer rubrum, Liquidambar styraciflua, Fraxinus americana, Quercus rubra, Carpinus caroliniana, Magnolia virginiana, Nyssa sylvatica, Diospyros virginiana, Oxydendrum arboreum</i>, and <i>Cornus florida</i>. Shrubs and woody vines include <i>Decumaria barbara, Euonymus americanus, Rhododendron canescens, Toxicodendron radicans, Vitis rotundifolia, Smilax glauca</i>, and the exotic <i>Lonicera japonica</i>. Important herbs include <i>Athyrium filix-femina ssp. asplenioides, Polystichum acrostichoides, Woodwardia areolata, Osmunda cinnamomea, Mitchella repens</i>, and <i>Hexastylis arifolia</i>. |
