Soils saturated by oxygen-rich waters may affect plants differently than those under stagnant saturation and a great number of observations may be required to clarify this situation.
The dry soil limit is considerably more uncertain than the saturation limit but may tentatively be taken to lie beyond the limits of occurrence of such species as Pitch Pine and certain ericaceous shrubs such as Black Huckleberry (Gaylussacia baccata).
Among such limiting occurrences may be a rock outcrop community described by Abrams and Orwig (1995) from the Shawangunk Mountains of southwestern New York State.

The Atlas defines sandplain grasslands as “grassy areas dominated by the tussock-forming bunch grasses little bluestem (Schizachyrum scoparia), and poverty grass (Danthoria spicata).” These are found only in the Upper Cape towns of Bourne, Sandwich, Barnstable, and Falmouth.
Heathlands are “open areas dominated by dense, prostrate mats of bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi), fl huckleberry (Gaylussacia baccata), and either beach heath (Hudsonia tomentosa) or golden heather (H. ericoides).
These are found only in the towns of Eastham and Wellfleet, at the Coast Guard Beach area and the Marconi Beach/Wildlife Management areas, respectively.
