Oak–heath forest
An oak–heath forest is a plant community association and type of forest ecology. It is a deciduous forest type of well-drained, acidic soils, characterized by oaks (Quercus) and plants of the heath family (Ericaceae). It is commonly found in the high elevations of the eastern United States. Many of the existing oak–heath forests once featured American chestnut (Castanea dentata) as an important canopy species before being decimated by blight. The chestnut populations still exist today as sprouts, though they rarely reach maturity.
