This oak forest of the unglaciated northeastern Coastal Plain generally occurs on well-drained acidic soils, primarily loamy sands, sandy loams and silty/clay loams. Occasional stands occur on imperfectly drained, alternately wet and dry upland flats with hardpan subsoils. The canopy is dominated by a mixture of oaks, especially <i>Quercus alba, Quercus falcata</i>, and <i>Quercus velutina</i>. Associates include <i>Sassafras albidum, Quercus </i><i>coccinea, Quercus stellata, Liquidambar styraciflua</i>, and <i>Nyssa sylvatica</i>, with <i>Acer</i><i> rubrum, Ilex opaca</i>, and <i>Cornus florida</i> often forming a subcanopy. <i>Liriodendron tulipifera</i> may be a canopy component in mature, fire-suppressed stands. Pines such as <i>Pinus taeda, Pinus rigida</i> (in the Inner Coastal Plain of Maryland), or <i>Pinus virginiana</i> may be present in successional stands. <i>Carya pallida</i> may also be present in the canopy, especially in stands occurring on sandy soils. Other hickories such as <i>Carya alba</i> and <i>Carya glabra</i> are also present in some stands. The shrub layer is well-developed and dominated by the deciduous ericads <i>Gaylussacia frondosa,</i><i> Gaylussacia baccata, Vaccinium pallidum, Vaccinium stamineum</i>, and occasionally <i>Lyonia mariana</i>. The vines <i>Smilax rotundifolia</i> and <i>Vitis rotundifolia</i> may be important in some stands. The herbaceous layer is generally sparse and characterized by dry-site species such as <i>Pteridium aquilinum, Cypripedium acaule, Chimaphila maculata</i>, and <i>Gaultheria procumbens</i>. |

This community includes subxeric ridgetop and exposed slope forests in the Southern Appalachians, ranging south and east into the upper Piedmont, north into the Central Appalachians, and north and west into the Ridge and Valley. This community occurs over shallow soils, primarily on south- to west-facing slopes and ridgetops where solar exposure is high. Soils are rocky, infertile, dry, acidic sandy loams typically derived from sandstone. The community includes forests with canopies strongly dominated by <i>Quercus prinus</i> and/or <i>Quercus coccinea</i>, with lesser amounts of <i>Quercus velutina, Quercus rubra, Quercus falcata, Oxydendrum arboreum, Nyssa sylvatica, Pinus virginiana</i>, and <i>Acer rubrum</i>, occurring over a typically dense shrub stratum dominated by ericaceous species. The shrub layer may vary between evergreen and deciduous dominance. Typical shrub species include <i>Kalmia latifolia, Rhododendron maximum, Vaccinium stamineum, Vaccinium pallidum, Gaylussacia ursina, Gaylussacia baccata</i>, and (in the more southern portions of the range) <i>Leucothoe recurva</i>. In addition, <i>Castanea dentata</i> may occur abundantly as root sprouts. The herb layer is typically sparse and includes subshrubs such as <i>Epigaea repens</i> and <i>Gaultheria procumbens</i>. Other common species include <i>Chamaelirium luteum, Chimaphila maculata, Galax urceolata, Magnolia fraseri, Sassafras albidum, Symplocos tinctoria, Smilax rotundifolia</i>, and <i>Smilax glauca</i>. This community is distinguished by its overall floristic composition, with a high abundance of acid-loving ericaceous species, which are indicative of this community's extremely infertile, acidic soils. |
