This is a transitional ecoregion, distinguished from the coastal ecoregion (63) to the south by its coarser-grained soils, cooler climate, and Northeastern oak-pine potential natural vegetation. The climate is milder than the coastal ecoregion (59) to the north that contains Appalachian oak forests and some northern hardwoods forests. The physiography of this ecoregion is not as flat as that of the Middle Atlantic Coastal Plain (63), but it is not as irregular as that of the Northeastern Coastal Zone (59). The shore characteristics of sandy beaches, grassy dunes, bays, marshes, and scrubby oak-pine forests are moe like those to the south, in contrast to the more rocky, jagged, forested coastline found to the north.
