Name: Pinus rigida / Quercus ilicifolia - Kalmia angustifolia / Pyxidanthera barbulata Woodland
Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of...
Description: Mesic pine barrens vegetation dominated by <i>Pinus rigida</i> with a shrub layer dominated by <i>Quercus ilicifolia</i>. The presence of mesic species such as <i>Kalmia angustifolia, Ilex glabra, Lyonia mariana, Leucothoe racemosa, Clethra alnifolia, Vaccinium corymbosum</i> indicate more mesic conditions such as the higher clay content of the soils, the position adjacent to a wetland, or a water table below the soil surface. Other associates include <i>Pyxidanthera barbulata, Morella pensylvanica (= Myrica pensylvanica), Photinia melanocarpa (= Aronia melanocarpa), Gaultheria procumbens, Carex pensylvanica</i> and <i>Pteridium aquilinum</i>. In New Jersey, <i>Xerophyllum asphodeloides</i> and <i>Calamovilfa brevipilis</i> are also found in this vegetation.
