Norman Upland Ecoregion
Ecoregions: Norman Upland
Norman Upland Ecoregion shown in orange
The Norman Upland ecoregion is mostly forested, and characterized by dissected high hills and knobs, narrow valleys, and medium to high gradient streams. Originally oak-hickory forests grew on the uplands and beech forests were found in the valleys. Today, chestnut oak has replaced American chestnut on the well-drained upper slopes, and Virginia pine can be found on some southern uplands. Source: US EPA
