Name: Pinus rigida - Quercus (marilandica, ilicifolia) / Kalmia angustifolia / Calamovilfa brevipilis Wet Scrub
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: Stands are dominated by dwarf-form <i>Pinus rigida</i>. Tree oaks are absent. Shrubs include <i>Gaylussacia baccata, Gaylussacia frondosa, Gaylussacia dumosa</i>, and <i>Kalmia angustifolia</i>. Herbs include <i>Xerophyllum asphodeloides, Calamovilfa brevipilis</i>. Hydric pine plains are small-patch community types structurally similar to upland "pine plains" of the central Pinelands with high densities of dwarf serotinous <i>Pinus rigida</i> in a coppice shrubland 1.5-4.5 m (5-15 feet) tall, but are actually palustrine shrublands with a range of hydrologic conditions and associated wetland species similar to those of pitch pine lowlands. Tree oaks and shrub oaks are absent. They are restricted to the central Pinelands, mostly in small lowlands or swales within the pine plains or in pitch pine lowlands adjacent to the pine plains in the plains/barrens subregion; a few outlier occurrences are also found in other frequently or severely burned pitch pine lowlands.
