Name: Pinus banksiana - Pinus resinosa - (Quercus ellipsoidalis) / Carex pensylvanica Wooded Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This pine savanna is found in the western and central Great Lakes region of the United States. Stands occur on dry soils on flat to moderately sloping terrain. It consists of a sparse tree layer within a matrix of herbs and short shrubs. The trees are <i>Pinus banksiana, Pinus resinosa</i>, and sometimes <i>Quercus ellipsoidalis</i>. The shrub layer is discontinuous. Young <i>Pinus banksiana</i> and <i>Pinus resinosa</i>, and grubs of <i>Quercus ellipsoidalis</i>, along with <i>Vaccinium</i> spp. and <i>Corylus americana</i> are common constituents of the shrub layer. <i>Gaylussacia baccata</i> can be dominant in central Wisconsin stands. The cover by herbaceous plants is often reduced by the number of short shrubs, which may become thick in the absence of fire. <i>Euphorbia corollata, Andropogon gerardii</i>, and <i>Symphyotrichum urophyllum (= Aster sagittifolius)</i> are common herbs in Wisconsin.
