Description: This dry pine forest of central New England occurs on well-drained to xeric, coarse-textured, acidic, sand or gravel deposits. The canopy is a mixture of <i>Pinus strobus, Pinus resinosa</i>, and <i>Pinus rigida</i>. <i>Quercus rubra</i> may occur at low cover. The low-shrub layer is dominated by heaths such as <i>Vaccinium angustifolium</i> and <i>Vaccinium myrtilloides</i>, plus scattered <i>Quercus ilicifolia</i> where adjacent to pitch pine-scrub oak barrens and occasionally <i>Betula populifolia</i> or <i>Populus grandidentata</i>. Herbs are generally sparse and include <i>Pteridium aquilinum, Gaultheria procumbens</i>, and <i>Carex lucorum</i>. <i>Pinus rigida</i> and <i>Quercus rubra</i> differentiate this community from ~<i>Pinus strobus - Pinus resinosa / Cornus canadensis</i> Forest (CEGL006253)$$ of higher elevations or latitudes.
