Forests between dry and moist, often oak-hickory on slopes.

Forests on moist but not wet ground, such as rich slopes and ravines.

Open, fire-kept longleaf pine stands over grasses and wildflowers on wet to moist sandy soil.

Dense evergreen shrub wetlands and bay forests on wet, acid peat of the Coastal Plain.

Dry, deep-sand ridges with longleaf pine and turkey oak, kept open by fire.

Places where groundwater keeps the soil or rock wet, such as seepage slopes and spring runs.
