غابات البلوط الجاف في وسط جبال الأبلاش - غابات الصنوبر في Virginia – CEGL008540

Table-mountain pine (Pinus pungens), chestnut oak (Quercus montana), and patches of Pennsylvania sedge (Carex pensylvanica) on charnockite outcrops at Miller Head in Shenandoah National Park (Page County).  This community type primarily occurs on acidic sedimentary and metasedimentary rocks (except shale), but is also found on certain igneous and metamorphic outcrops of the Blue Ridge. © DCR-DNH, Gary P.
