contains good agricultural soils. The acreage available in a natural
 condition is not great--most is cultivated, used for residences, or held
 at the pine stage of succession.

2. Rangeland

 The soil's moisture-holding capacity and natural fertility is relatively
 high and good quality forages are produced. This community is preferred
 for grazing by livestock in the earlier stages of succession. Tree canopy
 cover can become excessive and drastically reduce forage quality. For
 sites in excellent condition the average annual production of air dry
 plant material varies from 3,000 to 4,500 pounds per acre. The variation
 depends on plant growth conditions. From 8 to 23+ acres are usually
 needed per animal unit depending upon amount and type of forages
 available. There will be little or no grazing when the canopy cover
 exceeds 60 percent. The relative percentage of annual vegetative
 production by weight is 50 percent grasses, 30 percent trees and shrubs
 and 20 percent forbs.

3. Wildlifeland

 Mixed hardwood and pine are very good habitat for deer, turkey, squirrel,
 and many songbirds. Hardwood mast (acorns, nuts, fruits, buds, and
 berries) furnish a good source of wildlife food. Mature hardwoods and
 snags provide good nesting sites for birds. Habitat is good for raccoons,
 opposums, bobwhite quail and dove, fair for reptiles, and poor for most
 amphibians.

4. Woodland

 This community has a high potential productivity for commercial wood
 production. There are no serious management problems. Commercial species
 suitable for planting are slash pine and loblolly pine. Potential annual
 growth is 1.5 and 1.2 cords per acre, respectively. The potential annual
 growth of longleaf pine is 0.8 cords per acre.

5. Urbanland

 These moderately well to well drained areas have few limitations for urban
 development. This and the attractiveness of the hardwood and pine
 vegetation make them prized areas for residential development. Water
 erosion is often a problem on the steeper slopes. Special vegetative
 establishment and maintenance practices are needed in situations where
 water erosion is a concern.

 Plants native to the community are easily established and require less
 maintenance than introduced ornamentals. Some of the trees are American
 holly, laurelcherry, chickasaw plum, dogwoods, fringetree, hickory,
 southern magnolia, oak, pine, persimmon, redbud, red maple, redcedar, and
 sweetgum. Some of the shrubs are American beautyberry, coral bean,
 pawpaw, strawberry bush, shining sumac, viburnum, and waxmyrtle. Some of
 the herbaceous plants are aster, beebalm, blazing star, iris and
 sunflower.
