Name: Pinus rigida - Quercus coccinea / Vaccinium pallidum - (Morella pensylvanica) Woodland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This vegetation is a matrix woodland type of the central Pine Barrens from Long Island, New York, north to Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It occurs on very well-drained sandy outwash or moraine deposits. The canopy is dominated by <i>Pinus rigida</i> plus the following oaks in variable proportions: <i>Quercus coccinea, Quercus velutina, Quercus alba</i>, and <i>Quercus rubra</i> and occasionally <i>Quercus stellata</i>. Tall shrubs such as <i>Quercus ilicifolia</i> can be sporadic to locally well-developed. Heaths tend to form a dense dwarf-shrub layer, especially <i>Gaylussacia baccata, Vaccinium angustifolium</i>, and <i>Vaccinium pallidum</i>. <i>Morella pensylvanica</i> can also commonly occur. The herb layer is often sparse and characterized by <i>Pteridium aquilinum, Gaultheria procumbens</i>, and <i>Carex pensylvanica</i>. This mixed conifer-deciduous woodland is a fire-dependent community with a proportion of canopy species dependent on the fire regime.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35025-{95085A32-4055-4555-91DC-87A45C1C128F} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
