Name: Pinus rigida - Quercus (velutina, montana) Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This inland dry oak-pine forest of the Northeast occurs on well-drained to droughty soils of glacial outwash or till and on shallow soils on ridges and south-facing slopes. The tree canopy is codominated by <i>Pinus rigida</i> and several oak species, including <i>Quercus velutina, Quercus alba</i>, and <i>Quercus montana</i>, and an understory of ericaceous species. Canopy associates include <i>Pinus strobus</i> and, less frequently, <i>Quercus rubra, Pinus resinosa</i> (to the north), or <i>Pinus virginiana</i> (to the south). The shrub layer tends to be fairly open, with <i>Kalmia latifolia, Gaylussacia baccata, Vaccinium angustifolium</i>, and <i>Vaccinium pallidum</i> and occasionally <i>Quercus ilicifolia</i> (although this species is generally absent in the Western Allegheny Plateau). Typical herbs include <i>Aralia nudicaulis, Pteridium aquilinum, Gaultheria procumbens, Comptonia peregrina, Carex pensylvanica</i>, and <i>Carex communis</i>. <i>Lespedeza capitata</i> and <i>Desmodium</i> spp. are associates as well. <i>Solidago odora</i> also occurs on the High Allegheny Plateau.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:34937-{AB531AD7-D2A0-4A3D-8C9A-794548AB60F8} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 2
