Name: Quercus falcata - Pinus rigida - Pinus echinata / Ilex opaca Woodland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This oak-pine-holly forest is found in the coastal uplands of peninsular Cape May and other coastal uplands within a few miles of Atlantic bays and salt marsh, as well as inland edges of the southern Pinelands near major river wetlands. <i>Quercus alba, Quercus falcata, Quercus coccinea</i>, and <i>Quercus velutina</i> are usually dominant trees (cover exceeds 50%), with smaller amounts of <i>Pinus rigida, Pinus echinata</i> and <i>Pinus virginiana</i>. A subcanopy of <i>Ilex opaca</i> is particularly characteristic of this type, and <i>Cornus florida</i> is also sometimes present. Small amounts of other tree species are sometimes present in the canopy or subcanopy, such as <i>Quercus stellata, Sassafras albidum, Carya pallida</i>, and <i>Carya alba</i> in drier sites, or <i>Acer rubrum, Nyssa sylvatica</i> and <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i> in mesic sites, but these species are more typical of other community types (i.e., Ow1, OH3 vs OHH, respectively). Shrubs include <i>Gaylussacia frondosa, Gaylussacia baccata, Vaccinium pallidum</i>, and <i>Vaccinium corymbosum</i>. <i>Morella pensylvanica</i> is occasionally present. Some areas of this community have dense <i>Kalmia latifolia</i> in the shrub layer. <i>Smilax rotundifolia</i> and <i>Parthenocissus quinquefolia</i> are common vines. Herbs are sparse but may include <i>Carex pensylvanica, Gaultheria procumbens, Melampyrum lineare, Deschampsia flexuosa</i>, and <i>Chimaphila maculata</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35304-{7D16B2D1-0A8F-498E-B920-AE6C198BF1AE} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
