Name: Pinus rigida / Vaccinium macrocarpon Woodland Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This northeastern interdunal swale occurs on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and Long Island, New York. It is characterized by a saturated to seasonally flooded mat of Vaccinium macrocarpon with a canopy of Pinus rigida. The substrate is a thin organic layer over the deep sands of coastal dunes. Although generally saturated, the water level may drop below the surface during dry periods. The canopy is characterized by Pinus rigida nearly exclusively, and ranges from very open to nearly closed. The shrub layer, if present, is comprised of Vaccinium corymbosum, Morella pensylvanica, Ilex glabra, or Kalmia angustifolia. The dwarf-shrub or field layer is heavily dominated by Vaccinium macrocarpon. Other associates may include Scirpus cyperinus, Juncus canadensis, and Drosera rotundifolia.  Accession Code: VB.CC.28090.PINUSRIGIDAVACC Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
