Name: Pinus rigida - (Pinus echinata) / Quercus (marilandica, ilicifolia) / Vaccinium pallidum Woodland
Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of...
Description: Pitch pine-dominated woodland of the New Jersey Pine Barrens. Pines are dominant, but the characteristic presence of tree oaks (Quercus alba, Quercus coccinea, Quercus velutina, Quercus prinus, Quercus stellata) forming up to 35% of the canopy is an indication of a fire frequency that is less than that of the classic pine barrens type Pinus rigida / Quercus (marilandica, ilicifolia) / Pyxidanthera barbulata Woodland (CEGL006051). The presence of a well-developed shrub oak layer indicates a fire frequency greater than that of oak forests. The ground layer is characterized by heaths, generally Vaccinium pallidum and Gaylussacia baccata. Herbs are sparse, and may include Gaultheria procumbens, Pteridium aquilinum.
