Name: Pinus strobus - Pinus resinosa - Pinus rigida Forest Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This dry pine forest of central New England occurs on well-drained to xeric, coarse-textured, acidic, sand or gravel deposits. The canopy is a mixture of Pinus strobus, Pinus resinosa, and Pinus rigida. Quercus rubra may occur at low cover. The low-shrub layer is dominated by heaths such as Vaccinium angustifolium and Vaccinium myrtilloides, plus scattered Quercus ilicifolia where adjacent to pitch pine-scrub oak barrens and occasionally Betula populifolia or Populus grandidentata. Herbs are generally sparse and include Pteridium aquilinum, Gaultheria procumbens, and Carex lucorum. Pinus rigida and Quercus rubra differentiate this community from Pinus strobus - Pinus resinosa / Cornus canadensis Forest (CEGL006253) of higher elevations or latitudes.  Accession Code: VB.CC.21822.PINUSSTROBUSPIN Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
