Name: Pinus rigida / Vaccinium macrocarpon Swamp Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This northeastern interdunal swale occurs on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and Long Island, New York. It is characterized by a saturated to seasonally flooded mat of <i>Vaccinium macrocarpon</i> with a canopy of <i>Pinus rigida</i>. The substrate is a thin organic layer over the deep sands of coastal dunes. Although generally saturated, the water level may drop below the surface during dry periods. The canopy is characterized by <i>Pinus rigida</i> nearly exclusively, and ranges from very open to nearly closed. The shrub layer, if present, is composed of <i>Vaccinium corymbosum, Morella pensylvanica, Ilex glabra</i>, or <i>Kalmia angustifolia</i>. The dwarf-shrub or field layer is heavily dominated by <i>Vaccinium macrocarpon</i>. Other associates may include <i>Scirpus cyperinus, Juncus canadensis</i>, and <i>Drosera rotundifolia</i>.
