Name: Pinus banksiana / (Quercus rubra, Quercus ellipsoidalis) Forest Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This jack pine / oak forest type is found in the northern regions of the midwestern United States and in central Canada. Stands occur on dry rocky outcrops, typically on ridges or hilltops. The soil is shallow, stony, well-drained sand to sandy loam with significant amounts of exposed rock. Soil moisture is low due to its shallow, coarse nature and presence on hill slopes. The overstory is dominated almost exclusively by Pinus banksiana. There is a well-developed and diverse sapling/tall-shrub layer dominated by Acer rubrum, Amelanchier alnifolia, Gaultheria procumbens, Juniperus communis, Prunus pensylvanica, Quercus ellipsoidalis, Quercus rubra, and Vaccinium spp. The ground layer includes the dwarf-shrub Arctostaphylos uva-ursi and the forbs Melampyrum lineare and Pteridium aquilinum. Lichens, especially Cladonia spp., are an important ground cover.  Accession Code: VB.CC.24032.PINUSBANKSIANAQ Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
