The woodlands are primarily deciduous with a few evergreens infrequently mixed. Slope: 15 to 30 percent. Aspect: Northeast. Soil: The primary soil type in the area of this collection is classified as Rockland Series sandstone (Rc). The Rockland series consists of well drained soils formed in loamy colluvium from rotational landslides on slopes of stream valleys and dissections of ground moraines. Saturated hydraulic conductivity is moderate in the upper part of the profile and moderately slow in the lower part. Slopes range from 18 to 70 percent. Some pedons have buried leaves, twigs, and moss. Mass soil movement has left random remnants of soil structure from prior upslope soil development and has buried tree branches, leaves and moss. The upper 0-2 cm of soil contains slightly decomposed organic matter while lower soils layers to a depth of 58 cm are comprised of dark reddish-brown to brown silt loam and are moderately acidic. Below 58 cm the soils are generally dark reddish-brown silt loam and strongly to moderately alkaline. (Source: California Soil Resource Lab/NRCS Official Soil Series Descriptions). Geology: The underlying geology of this area is of Pennsylvanian origin and characterized as Pottsville Formation. It is characterized by light-gray thin to thick-bedded quartzose sandstone and conglomerate containing interbedded dark-gray shale, siltstone, and coal. Mapped on Lookout Mountain, Blount and Chandler Mountains, and Sand Mountain northeast of Blount County, and on the mountains of Jackson, Marshall, and Madison Counties north and west of the TN river.

Soils: The underlying geology of this area is the St. Michaels Formation of Miocene origin. The Lower Miocene St. Marks Formation, named by Finch (1823), is exposed in Wakulla, Leon and Jefferson Counties on the northwestern flank of the Ocala Platform. It is a white to yellowish gray, poorly to moderately indurated, sandy, fossiliferous (molds and casts) limestone (packstone to wackestone). Mollusk molds and casts are often abundant. The St. Marks Formation makes up the upper part of the FAS in part of the eastern panhandle.
