Name: NY Heritage: Pine plantation Reference: Ecological Communities of New York, 2nd Ed. Description: A stand of pines planted for the cultivation and harvest of timber products, or to provide wildlife habitat, soil erosion control, windbreaks, or landscaping. These plantations may be monocultures with more than 90% of the canopy cover consisting of one species, or they may be mixed stands with two or more codominant species (in which case more than 50% of the cover consists of one or more species of pine). Pines that are typically planted in New York include white pine (Pinus strobus), red pine (P. resinosa), Scotch pine (P. sylvestris), pitch pine (P. rigida), and jack pine (P. banksiana). Groundlayer vegetation is usually sparse, apparently because of the dense accumulation of leaf litter. Speedwell (Veronica officinalis) is a characteristic groundlayer plant. More data on this community are needed.  Accession Code: VB.CC.28775.NYHERITAGEPINEP Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 1
