Name: Pinus banksiana - (Pinus resinosa) - Quercus ellipsoidalis / Carex pensylvanica Forest Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This jack pine - oak forest community type is found near the western Great Lakes of the United States and Canada on well-drained, sandy, infertile soils. Sites are typically relatively flat and occur on outwash plains or glaciolacustrine beds. The overstory of this forest community has a moderately closed to closed canopy. Tree density can be very high (up to several hundred trees/ha). The dominant canopy species are Pinus banksiana and Quercus ellipsoidalis. In some stands these two species constitute nearly the entire canopy. Where other trees are present, they typically include Acer rubrum, Pinus resinosa, and Populus tremuloides. The shrub layer is sparse to well-defined. Vaccinium angustifolium is very common, but Corylus cornuta, Corylus americana, Rosa spp., and Rubus spp. are other common constituents. Gaylussacia baccata is common in central Michigan and Wisconsin. The herbaceous layer contains species such as Carex pensylvanica, Fragaria virginiana, Lysimachia quadrifolia, Maianthemum canadense, Maianthemum racemosum, and Pteridium aquilinum.  Accession Code: VB.CC.20896.PINUSBANKSIANAP Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
