Name: Pinus rigida / Quercus (marilandica, ilicifolia) / Pyxidanthera barbulata Woodland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This community is restricted to the New Jersey Pine Barrens, where it comprises the matrix pine barrens type. Pitch pine - shrub oak barrens (Pb4/5) is a highly fire-dependent matrix community restricted to the fire-prone central Pinelands of New Jersey, occurring on warmer microclimate hills and slopes least effected by cold-air drainage. It typically has an open canopy strongly dominated by <i>Pinus rigida</i>, with little or no tree oak cover and a well-developed shrub oak stratum. The canopy can become closed in long unburned stands. Tree oaks are typically absent, but if present, may include less than 5% cover of <i>Quercus stellata</i> or <i>Quercus velutina</i>. <i>Sassafras albidum</i> is a common midstory associate, but fire-sensitive hardwoods and holly are absent. A well-developed shrub oak stratum with 25-100% cover is typical, with shrub-form <i>Quercus marilandica, Quercus ilicifolia</i>, and <i>Quercus x brittonii</i> (i.e., blackjack-scrub oak hybrids). Low heath shrubs include <i>Gaylussacia baccata</i> and <i>Vaccinium pallidum</i>. Herbs often include <i>Pteridium aquilinum, Gaultheria procumbens, Pyxidanthera barbulata, Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, Hudsonia ericoides, Schizachyrium scoparium</i>, and <i>Carex pensylvanica</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:34701-{929EB4A0-4FCD-4195-A265-3813A74AF2F2} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
