Name: Pinus rigida Dwarf-scrub Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance is characterized by dwarfed <i>Pinus rigida</i> forming a dense to patchy shrubland in northeastern pine barrens of New Jersey and Long Island, New York. Also known as pine plains, it is maintained in this form by frequent and intense fire, and occurs as a component within tree-form pine barrens. Associates include heath shrubs such as <i>Vaccinium angustifolium</i>, and other dwarf-shrubs such as <i>Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, Hudsonia ericoides, Corema conradii</i>, and others.
