Description: This red pine - hardwood mixed forest community type is found in the boreal regions of the midwestern United States and in central and possibly eastern Canada. Stands are found on well-drained upland sites on a variety of landforms. Soils are coarse sandy, and shallow to deep. Stands contain a mix of deciduous and evergreen trees, comprising mainly Pinus resinosa as the conifer, with some Pinus banksiana, Pinus strobus, and Abies balsamea. Less frequent associates include Picea glauca and Picea mariana. Hardwoods include Betula papyrifera, Populus grandidentata and Populus tremuloides. The shrub and herb layer varies from dense to open. Tall and dwarf-shrubs include Abies balsamea, Acer spicatum, Amelanchier spp., Corylus cornuta, Diervilla lonicera, Linnaea borealis, Lonicera canadensis, Vaccinium angustifolium, and Vaccinium myrtilloides.
