目錄梅西克混合硬木森林
These mixed hardwood forests are widespread in mesic to submesic, infertile habitats throughout the Coastal Plain and Piedmont. Forests in this group occupy mesic uplands, ravines, lower slopes, and well-drained "flatwoods" on deep, acidic, relatively nutrient-poor soils. The most typical overstories contain mixtures of American beech (Fagus grandifolia), oaks (Quercus spp., varying by region), tulip-tree (Liriodendron tulipifera), and hickories (Carya spp.), but a wide variety of hardwood associates occur. American hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana ssp. caroliniana and ssp. virginiana), flowering dogwood (Cornus florida), American strawberry-bush (Euonymus americanus) and American holly (Ilex opaca var. opaca) are prominent understory plants. In mesic "flatwoods" or "swamp islands" of the southeastern Virginia Coastal Plain, silky camellia (Stewartia malacodendron) and big-leaf snowbell (Styrax grandifolius) are characteristic small trees. These communities lack the lush herbaceous layers of Basic Mesic Forests, although species such as Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides), New York fern (Parathelypteris noveboracensis), and white wood aster (Eurybia divaricata) may form moderately dense populations. Along with Christmas fern, downy rattlesnake-plantain (Goodyera pubescens), Virginia heartleaf (Hexastylis virginica), and partridge-berry (Mitchella repens) are frequent evergreen herbs in mesic mixed hardwood forests. The name "Southern Mixed Hardwood Forest" has been applied to some Coastal Plain representatives of this group. Although mesic mixed hardwood forests still cover sizeable areas east of the mountains in Virginia, their extent and compositional integrity have been reduced by agriculture, development, and repeated logging.

此組由 170 定量繪圖樣本表示（圖。1），其中大多數支持兩種分類型中的第一種。這個團體在弗吉尼亞東南部海岸平原的代表雖然明顯不同，但需要更多文件和澄清他們的區域親情。北部海岸平原/皮埃蒙特類型包括與地理相關的一些組成變化，以及表面地點水分潛力的顯著梯度，從非常密集的峽谷底部到底下凸的上坡和頂峰。然而，儘管有充足的定量數據，嘗試將該單位分為兩種或多種類型或子類型已證明很難根據花卉成分的基礎來證明。點擊下面的任何突出顯示的 CEGL 代碼以查看由 NatureReserve 瀏覽器提供的全球 USNVC 描述。
