Name: Pinus strobus - Quercus alba - (Quercus velutina) / Andropogon gerardii Wooded Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This pine - oak barrens community is found in the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada, in Michigan and Ontario, where it is found on sandy glacial lake plains. Historically the canopy was an open mixture of pines, particularly Pinus strobus, and oaks, including Quercus alba, Quercus ellipsoidalis and Quercus velutina. Current stands may be more heavily dominated by the oaks, with pine regenerating in the understory. Carex pensylvanica dominates the herbaceous layer. A variety of prairie species may also be expected. Further characterization of the ground layer is needed.  Accession Code: VB.CC.21324.PINUSSTROBUSQUE Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
