Vegetation of this area is very much defined by small changes in elevation that go from wet to very dry. Ilex glabra remains abundant throughout, though. Slope: N/A. Aspect: N/A. The underlying geology of this area is the Cohansey Formation of middle Miocene origin and comprised of sand, white to yellow with local gravel and clay. It is sometimes locally stained red or orange brown by iron oxides and (or) cemented into large blocks of ironstone. Unweathered clay is typically dark gray, but commonly weathers white where it is interbedded with thin beds of ironstone. Sand is typically medium grained and moderately sorted although it ranges from fine to very coarse grained and from poorly to well sorted. Sand consists of quartz and siliceous rock fragments. Some beds are locally micaceous. Maximum thickness in the map area is about 60 meters; however, thickness is difficult to determine because of the irregular basal contact and extensive post-depositional erosion. (Source: USGS New Jersey Geologic Map Data). The primary soil type in the area of this collection is classified as Mullica Series sandy loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes. These soils are typically coarse-loamy, siliceous, semiactive, and mesic typic humaquepts that are strongly to extremely acidic throughout the profile. The typical solum thickness ranges from 50-150+ cm. These soils are generally considered to be poorly drained. (Source: NRCS Web Soil Survey).Wild material2169930NA 88593

All the plants found in this habitat go through periods of drought during the growing season due to the limited litter/soil layer in which moisture can be held. Elevation: 405 to 430 meters. Slope: 5 to 25 percent. Aspect: various. Geology: The underlying geology of this area is of Silurian origin and comprised of Shawangunk Formation. This formation is primarily light- to dark-gray, fine- to very coarse-grained sandstone and conglomerate containing thin shale interbeds. (Source: USGS Pennsylvania Geologic Map Data). Soils: The surface soil profile of this area is characterized as the Hazleton Series which consists of deep and very deep, well drained soils formed in residuum of acid gray, brown or red sandstone on uplands. The matrix includes a considerable accumulation of thin, flat, coarse fragments of sandstone, limestone, or schist with diameters up to 15 cm. Slope ranges from 0-80%.

Plants accessed by foot along trails throughout property.39.57400900, -74.9360240032Plants growing in shade to part-shade of a mesic to mesic-dry woodland habitat that is mostly deciduous, but also includes pine overstory. Slope: N/A. Aspect: N/A. Soils: The underlying geology of this area is of Middle Miocene, Serravallian origin and characterized as an Cohansey Formation. It is comprised of sand, white to yellow with local gravel and clay. Locally stained red or orange brown by iron oxides and (or) cemented into large blocks of ironstone. Unweathered clay is typically dark gray, but commonly weathers white where interbedded with thin beds of ironstone. Unit is a complex of interfingering marine and nonmarine facies. Sand is typically medium grained and moderately sorted although it ranges from fine to very coarse grained and from poorly to well sorted. Sand consists of quartz and siliceous rock fragments. Some beds are locally micaceous. In general, the sand is crossbedded, although the style of crossbedding varies significantly with the paleoenvironment. Trough crossbedding predominates, especially in the nonmarine channel fill deposits, and the scale of the crossbeds varies from small to large. Maximum thickness in the map area is about 60 m; however, thickness is difficult to determine because of the irregular basal contact and extensive post-depositional erosion. There is as much as 18 m of relief along the basal contact. The basal contact is sharp, undulatory, and directly overlain by a thin gravel bed. The Cohansey Formation unconformably overlies the Kirkwood Formation and is found in channels cut down into the Kirkwood. Where the Kirkwood consists of sandy, light-colored sediments, the basal contact of the Cohansey is drawn below crossbedded sediments. Where the Kirkwood consists of dark-colored silty beds, the basal contact is drawn between light-colored Cohansey sediments and the underlying dark-colored sediments. The Cohansey was markedly thinned because of erosion prior to deposition of overlying units in the western and southern parts of the southern sheet. The unit has been extensively eroded and stripped from large areas of the New Jersey Coastal Plain, particularly in the central sheet where outliers are common. In spite of its widespread nature, the Cohansey is poorly exposed because of its loose sandy composition, which causes it to erode easily. (Source: USGS New Jersey Geologic Map Data.) The primary soil type in the location of this collection is classified as Downer loamy sand, 0 to 5 percent slopes, Northern Coastal Plain. Downer Series soils are very deep, well-drained soils that are coarse-loamy, siliceous, semiactive, mesic Typic Hapludults. The upper strata of Downer Series from 0 to 25 cm is dark grayish brown, brown loamy sand that is dry with weak fine granular structure. It is very friable and strongly acid. Lower strata from 25 to 76 cm are yellowish brown single grain, loose loamy sand with few extremely weakly cemented masses of oxidized iron in the lower part. This layer is very strongly acid.

Plants are infrequent at this site and considered rare in New Jersey. 39.05653200, -74.874825005Plants growing in shade to part-shade of a dry woodland habitat that is mostly deciduous. Nearby, as the elevation changes slightly, there is more abundant soil moisture, becoming a bit more mesic. Soils: The underlying geology of this area is of Upper Pliocene origin and characterized as an Unnamed Formation at Cape May. It is comprised of interbedded gravel, sand, and clay, massive to thickly-bedded. This is an informal unit described from a core hole at the Cape May Airport. The lower 18.3 meters consists of interbedded gravel; medium- to very coarse grained, poorly sorted sand; and thin to thick beds of medium- to dark-gray, very woody clay. Gravel clasts are typically less than 0.64 mm in diameter. The upper 12.2 meters consists of a thick-bedded, medium-gray, extensively bioturbated clay-silt, which is overlain by an extensively burrowed, fine- to medium-grained glauconitic (about 5 percent) quartz sand. Quartz and siliceous rock fragments compose most sand grains. Feldspar is present in most samples but usually constitutes less than 10 percent of the sand fraction. No calcareous macrofossils were found in the burrowed intervals. This unit is known only to occur on the Cape May peninsula where it lies within a large channel. The unit is about 60 m in maximum thickness. The contact with the underlying Belleplain Member of the Kirkwood Formation is sharp and unconformable; a basal gravel bed as much as 1 m thick is present along the contact. The pollen assemblage in the lower part of the unit is dominated by pine and oak with somewhat lesser amounts of hickory and basswood. Spruce, hemlock, beech, alder, and black gum are minor constituents. Traces of fir, willow, birch, and sweet gum are present, as is exotic Engelhardia. The non-arboreal pollen are a Multisia-type composite of the present-day Andean provenance which indicate an exotic cool climate. The lower assemblage suggests a cool-temperate climatic regimen. The pollen assemblage in the upper beds is dominated by oak and hickory with minor amounts of basswood, sweet gum, pine, and Multisia-type composite. Traces of cedar, willow, birch, alder, grass, and Sphagnum spores also are present. This assemblage probably represents a temperate climatic regimen (Les Sirkin, Adelphi University, written commun., 1991). The low percentage of exotic species is characteristic of the late Pliocene, and therefore, the unnamed unit at Cape May could be equivalent to the Beaverdam Formation of the Delmarva Peninsula of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia.

Berryland Series soils are very deep, very poorly drained soils of the Coastal Plains formed by sandy eolian deposits and/or fluviomarine sediments. Th upper 30 cm of the strata is sandy, dry, very friable and extremely acid. The lower strata to 1.8 meters contains loamy sand coated with organic matter, weakly cemented organ nodules and additional layers of sand occasionally containing rounded quartzose pebbles. The Mullica Series soils are typically coarse-loamy, siliceous, semiactive, and mesic typic humaquepts that are strongly to extremely acidic throughout the profile. The typical solum thickness ranges from 50-150+ cm. These soils are generally considered to be poorly drained.

22NA 88514RJL2022MD-019Kalmia latifolia L. Maryland, United StatesNA2022COLLECTED11/04/2022Plants are growing on both sides of a fire road on Maryland Heights along the edge with Harpers Ferry National Historic Park. This location was accessed from the east where Miller Avenue meets the fire road, approximately 2 kilometers away. There is no vehicular access to the collecting area. Becoming locally uncommon. This local population is likely to be extirpated in the next 20-30 years. This collector has hiked through this area for more than 35 years and seen dramatic changes in the population. When first observed, Kalmia latifolia was a dominant understory shrub on south- to west-facing slopes beneath a mature forest canopy. Over the years, at least one forest fire has significantly reduced the population, along with a continuing increase in deer populations, resulting in catastrophic browse damage. The absence of a mature forest canopy and periods of drought have almost certainly also resulted in decline of this population. While collecting seed from scattered mature plants well above deer browse levels, this collector also noted that there was virtually no recruitment taking place.39.32811200, -77.72242400287Plants are growing in part-shade to shade of a deciduous upland, very rocky, and dry forest community. Plants are frequently found growing among boulders, rock outcrops, and steep-slope erosional areas, although, not exclusively.
Soils: The underlying geology of this area is of Late Cambrian to Cambrian origin and comprised of Chilhowee Group; Weverton Formation. This includes interbedded white to dark gray, thin-bedded, micaceous, ferruginous, and sericitic quartzites, phyllites, and white, thick-bedded, ledge-making quartzites; some gray to brown ferruginous quartz conglomerate and purple-banded phyllite.

The primary soil types in the collection area are classified as Dekalb-Bagtown-Rock outcrop complex, 25 to 65 percent slopes. The Dekalb series consists of moderately deep, excessively drained soils formed in material weathered from gray and brown acid sandstone in places interbedded with shale and graywacke. Slope ranges from 0 to 80 percent. Permeability is rapid. Solum thickness and depth to bedrock range from 50 to 100 cm. Flat, subangular or angular, sandstone fragments, 2.5-25 cm across increase with depth and range from 10-60 percent in individual horizons of the solum and from 50-90 percent or more in the C horizon. The amount of rock fragments typically increases with depth. Cobbly, channery, and very stony phases are common. Reaction ranges from extremely through strongly acid.

Plants transition through moist/wet conditions in full sun to quite dry conditions in part shade and seem equally adapted.
Soils: The underlying geology of this area is the Cohansey Formation of middle Miocene origin and comprised of sand, white to yellow with local gravel and clay. It is sometimes locally stained red or orange brown by iron oxides and (or) cemented into large blocks of ironstone. Unweathered clay is typically dark gray, but commonly weathers white where it is interbedded with thin beds of ironstone. Sand is typically medium grained and moderately sorted although it ranges from fine to very coarse grained and from poorly to well sorted. Sand consists of quartz and siliceous rock fragments. Some beds are locally micaceous. Maximum thickness in the map area is about 60 meters; however, thickness is difficult to determine because of the irregular basal contact and extensive post-depositional erosion.
