This forest type of moist to dry-mesic sites lies predominantly north of the tension zone, occurring principally on moraines, fine-textured glacial lake beds, and flat to rolling uplands grading into steep slopes. It occurs commonly on silty/clayey lake plains with thin glacial till over bedrock. It also occurs locally on kettle-kame topography, moderately well-drained to well-drained sandy lake plain, and sand dunes (MNFI, 1990). In the prairie forest border region this type occurs on valley slopes and bottoms, often with northern or eastern aspects, and on poorly-drained sites. Elevations are low to moderate, generally < 2000 ft. The soils for this type are typically well- to moderately-well-drained loams and silt loams, with rich loa
