Name: Pinus (banksiana, resinosa) Woodland Alliance Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This alliance, found in New England and the Great Lakes region in the United States, as well as Manitoba and Ontario, Canada, contains rocky or sandy pine barrens and woodlands. Stands form an open canopy of either Pinus banksiana or Pinus resinosa or both. Understory composition varies from heath-dominated, with Vaccinium angustifolium and Vaccinium myrtilloides, to a mixture of graminoids, open rocky areas with lichens, and scrub oak, such as Quercus ellipsoidalis. This alliance can occur on bedrock outcrops and summits, often of sandstone or granite. Some stands occur on sandy outwash plains. Stands on sandy outwash are often fire-maintained.  Accession Code: VB.CC.18015.PINUSBANKSIANAR Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
