EPA Level III Ecoregion
Central Appalachians
943 native plants for the Central Appalachians ecoregion (Johnstown area).
The Central Appalachians cover the steep forested plateau of West Virginia, eastern Kentucky, western Virginia, and the Pennsylvania highlands around Johnstown. Slopes are sharp, soils are thin and acidic, and elevation keeps summers cooler and winters longer than in the valleys on either side. Natives such as flame azalea, sweet azalea, heart-leaf foamflower, and bigleaf magnolia are forest-understory plants, which makes them a natural fit for the shaded, sloping yards that are normal here.
Conditions: Thin acidic soils on steep forested slopes, 40–50 inches of precipitation, cool summers and long cold winters at elevation.
Cities and areas: Johnstown, Charleston, Lexington, Morgantown, Beckley, Altoona.
