Name: Pinus strobus - Quercus alba / (Corylus americana, Gaylussacia baccata) Forest
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This white pine - oak forest is found in the upper midwestern United States. Stands occur on dry sandy soils, and in central Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan, are typically formed on sandy outwash or lakeplains. <i>Pinus strobus</i> dominates the canopy, or may form a supercanopy over a hardwood canopy. Typical canopy associates include <i>Pinus resinosa</i> (in parts of its range), <i>Quercus alba, Quercus rubra</i>, and <i>Acer rubrum</i>. Where soils are more sandy, <i>Populus grandidentata</i> and <i>Quercus ellipsoidalis</i> may be important. Shrub species include <i>Corylus americana</i> and <i>Gaylussacia baccata</i>. The herbaceous layer can contain <i>Aquilegia canadensis, Aralia nudicaulis, Eurybia macrophylla (= Aster macrophyllus), Symphyotrichum urophyllum (= Aster sagittifolius), Carex pensylvanica, Gaultheria procumbens, Lysimachia quadrifolia, Polygala paucifolia</i>, and <i>Pteridium aquilinum</i>.
