Name: Pinus (rigida, echinata) / Quercus marilandica / Minuartia caroliniana Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: Mixed pine-shrub oak barrens (Pb1) is a fire-dependent community restricted to the fire-prone central Pinelands of New Jersey, but in landscape positions with a slightly milder fire intensity (and frequency) regime. It typically has an open canopy strongly dominated by <i>Pinus rigida</i> and/or <i>Pinus echinata</i>, about 5% tree-oak cover of midstory <i>Quercus stellata</i>, minor amounts of <i>Quercus velutina</i> and <i>Sassafras albidum</i>, and a well-developed shrub-oak stratum with 25-100% cover typically, with shrub-form <i>Quercus marilandica, Quercus ilicifolia, Quercus x brittonii</i> (i.e., blackjack-scrub oak hybrids), and sometimes <i>Quercus prinoides</i>. Low heath shrubs include <i>Gaylussacia baccata</i> and <i>Vaccinium pallidum</i>. Herbs often include <i>Pteridium aquilinum, Minuartia caroliniana, Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, Hudsonia ericoides, Schizachyrium scoparium, Carex pensylvanica</i> and lichens.
