Name: Pinus strobus - Quercus alba - (Quercus velutina) / Andropogon gerardii Wooded Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This pine - oak barrens community is found in the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada, in Michigan and Ontario, where it is found on sandy glacial lake plains. Historically the canopy was an open mixture of pines, particularly <i>Pinus strobus</i>, and oaks, including <i>Quercus alba, Quercus ellipsoidalis</i> and <i>Quercus velutina</i>. Current stands may be more heavily dominated by the oaks, with pine regenerating in the understory. <i>Carex pensylvanica</i> dominates the herbaceous layer. A variety of prairie species may also be expected. Further characterization of the ground layer is needed.
