These diverse communities are common in the Piedmont, but along the Fall Line are essentially restricted to ancient colluvial slopes and benches of weathered Potomac Formation clay, and are largely absent from the Coastal Plain. This type generally occurs as a gradient between Oak-Heath Forest and Mesic Mixed Hardwood Forest, usually on dry to mesic, acidic, southwest facing slopes with high solar exposure. This is typically a floristically diverse community type along the Fall Line.
