 The Allegheny–Cumberland dry oak forest and woodlands are typically dominated by white oak ("Quercus alba"), southern red oak ("Quercus falcata"), chestnut oak ("Quercus prinus"), and scarlet oak ("Quercus coccinea").Less frequent are red maple ("Acer rubrum"), pignut hickory ("Carya glabra"), and mockernut hickory ("Carya tomentosa").Shortleaf pines ("Pinus echinata") or Virginia pines ("Pinus virginiana") are occasionally present, particularly near escarpments or in recently burned areas.
