These are dry forests of the Ridge and Valley of Tennessee dominated by <i>Quercus prinus</i>. This canopy of this association is dominated by <i>Quercus prinus</i>, which makes up 25-50% of total canopy cover. It occurs near the top of calcareous ridges and knobs (with westerly aspects) on very well-drained, gravelly sandy soils. Other canopy species include <i>Quercus rubra, Carya ovata</i>, and <i>Carya glabra</i>. In addition, <i>Pinus virginiana</i> occurs in the canopy in low abundance (5-10% of total canopy cover). Other species present in the Ridge and Valley occurrences include <i>Quercus alba, Quercus stellata, Quercus muehlenbergii, Fraxinus americana, Juniperus virginiana, Pinus echinata, Acer rubrum, Robinia pseudoacacia, Oxydendrum arboreum, Vaccinium stamineum, Vaccinium arboreum, Viburnum rufidulum, Sideroxylon lycioides, Crataegus</i> sp., <i>Amelanchier arborea, Ruellia humilis, Silene stellata</i>, and <i>Potentilla canadensis</i>. |

This community comprises <i>Quercus alba</i>-dominated forests on exposed, rocky ridges and convex upper slopes at high elevations (>915 m [3000 feet]). The shrub stratum is dominated by <i>Kalmia latifolia</i>, occurring as patches or with continuous cover (>25%). In some parts of this forest's range, <i>Gaylussacia ursina</i> is dominant in the often dense low-shrub stratum. Herbaceous cover is typical of xeric <i>Quercus</i>-and-<i>Carya</i>-dominated forests in the area, with <i>Carex pensylvanica, Chimaphila maculata, Euphorbia corollata, Galax urceolata, Galium latifolium, Goodyera pubescens, Hexastylis shuttleworthii, Iris verna var. smalliana, Medeola virginiana</i> typical. The shrub/sapling stratum often has a high coverage of <i>Castanea</i> stump sprouts and also includes <i>Castanea pumila, Sassafras albidum, Oxydendrum arboreum</i>, and <i>Nyssa sylvatica</i>. |

Forests of this association are often dominated by <i>Acer rubrum var. trilobum</i> or <i>Acer rubrum var. rubrum</i> but may be codominated by <i>Nyssa biflora</i>. Other canopy components may include <i>Pinus serotina, Pinus taeda</i>, and <i>Chamaecyparis thyoides</i> on organic soils. The understory is dominated by pocosin shrubs, including <i>Clethra alnifolia, Lyonia lucida, Ilex glabra, Ilex coriacea</i>, and <i>Persea palustris</i> which may form a continuous layer in some occurrences. A tangle of vines, including <i>Smilax rotundifolia, Smilax laurifolia, Toxicodendron radicans, Decumaria barbara, Parthenocissus quinquefolia</i>, and <i>Vitis rotundifolia</i>, are often present. This community occurs on extensive peat flats in the "tidewater" Coastal Plain of North Carolina and Virginia. In Maryland, this community type is known from saturated peatlands associated with headwater basin swamps and an ancient oxbow swamp on the Maryland Coastal Plain. It is apparently the result of logging of <i>Chamaecyparis thyoides</i> (and other peatland) forests, followed by fire suppression. |
