Name: Pinus banksiana - (Pinus resinosa) / Corylus cornuta Forest
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This jack pine woodland community type is found in upper midwestern United States and possibly adjacent Canada. Stands are found on flat to rolling topography, such as glaciofluvial and lacustrine deposits, moraines, and other glacial features. The soils are sandy loams, fine sands, and loamy sands, shallow to deep, and with low organic content. The overstory of this forest community is dominated by moderately to densely spaced conifers with a scattering of deciduous trees. The trees in this community are typically 15-20 m tall. <i>Pinus </i><i>banksiana</i> is often the sole dominant. <i>Pinus resinosa, Betula papyrifera</i>, and <i>Populus tremuloides</i> are canopy associates, and the subcanopy is typically sparse. The shrub layer contains abundant <i>Corylus cornuta</i>, along with <i>Amelanchier</i> spp., <i>Corylus americana, Diervilla lonicera, Vaccinium angustifolium</i>, and <i>Viburnum rafinesquianum</i>. The herb layer is often dominated by <i>Pteridium aquilinum</i>, with common species including <i>Linnaea borealis, Gaultheria procumbens</i>, and <i>Chimaphila umbellata</i>.
