Name: Pinus (rigida, echinata) - Quercus coccinea / Ilex opaca Woodland
Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This closed, mixed woodland is characterized by <i>Pinus rigida, Quercus coccinea, Quercus alba, Quercus stellata</i>, and <i>Acer rubrum</i>. A subcanopy of <i>Ilex opaca</i> and <i>Cornus florida</i> is particularly characteristic of this type. The shrub layer is made up of <i>Gaylussacia baccata, Vaccinium pallidum, Clethra alnifolia, Ilex glabra</i>, and at lower frequencies, <i>Carya pallida</i> and <i>Rhododendron viscosum</i>. The herbaceous layer is sparse; generally <i>Chimaphila maculata</i> and <i>Pteridium aquilinum</i> are present at low cover. This woodland experiences lower fire frequency than other types of the Pine Barrens, as it is more protected and more mesic. The primary distribution of this association is south of the Mullica River in southern New Jersey.
