Name: Pinus banksiana - Pinus resinosa / Quercus ellipsoidalis Woodland
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This pine barrens community type is typically found in the sand plain regions of the upper midwestern United States. Stands are located on outwash plains, on sandy to sandy loam soils. The canopy is open, and dominated by Pinus banksiana, with large Pinus resinosa occasionally codominant or forming a supercanopy. Quercus macrocarpa and Quercus ellipsoidalis oak grubs and young Populus tremuloides may occur in the understory. The shrub layer is tall, dense, and continuous; dominants include Amelanchier spp., Corylus americana, Salix humilis, and Viburnum rafinesquianum. The herbaceous layer is generally sparse and is composed of dry woodland and prairie species (in parts of the range) capable of persisting in partial shade.
