Name: Quercus falcata / Carya pallida - Quercus prinoides / Carex pensylvanica Woodland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This paleodune woodland occurs in paleodune habitats in the southern subregion of the New Jersey Pinelands near Maurice River, including TNC's Willow Grove Lake Preserve and Manumuskin River Preserve. This community is characterized by an open canopy of dominant trees including various combinations of <i>Quercus falcata, Quercus alba</i>, and <i>Quercus velutina</i>, with smaller amounts of <i>Sassafras albidum, Carya tomentosa, Pinus rigida</i>, and <i>Pinus echinata</i>. Patchy low percent covers of the low heaths include <i>Gaylussacia baccata</i> and <i>Vaccinium pallidum</i>, while taller shrubs in patches or as scattered individuals with 5-10% cover include <i>Quercus ilicifolia, Quercus prinoides, Quercus stellata, Gaylussacia frondosa, Carya pallida</i>, and rarely <i>Cornus florida</i>. Most stands at Willow Grove Lake have little or no shrub oak cover, while stands at Manumuskin have an open shrub oak stratum, so a shrub oak variant may be needed pending more data. <i>Smilax glauca</i> also occurs as scattered vines. <i>Carex pensylvanica</i> forms a widespread herb stratum with 50-75% cover, with other herbs including <i>Cladina subtenuis</i> and <i>Schizachyrium scoparium</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35309-{442F694A-28CF-498B-B538-1FECBDBC93AA} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
