click to update datacart
Name: Pinus banksiana / Arctostaphylos uva-ursi Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This jack pine - red pine dry sand woodland type is found in northern Minnesota and in the central subboreal forest region of Canada. Stands occur on flat to rolling topography. The soils are relatively infertile sand, loamy sand, sandy loam, and sometimes silt. There is a shallow but largely continuous layer of humus. The overstory is dominated by <i>Pinus banksiana</i> or <i>Pinus resinosa</i>. There may be scattered <i>Pinus strobus, Populus tremuloides</i>, and, in stands adjacent to low areas, <i>Picea mariana</i>. The canopy is typically 15-20 m tall. The more mesic sites tend to have denser shrub layers. Typical components include <i>Amelanchier alnifolia, Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, Diervilla lonicera, Hudsonia tomentosa</i>, and <i>Vaccinium angustifolium</i>. Common herbaceous species are <i>Symphyotrichum laeve, Cornus canadensis, Maianthemum canadense, Oryzopsis asperifolia</i>, and <i>Solidago</i> spp. Drier sites have more open understories and depauperate flora. Mosses are common, especially on more mesic sites. This community develops following fire. Without periodic fires, later successional species, such as <i>Abies balsamea, Picea glauca</i> and <i>Picea mariana</i>, may invade.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:31346-{A6733C30-8857-448F-9FA1-D38B40A2AD8A} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 26
