Name: Pinus strobus - Quercus spp. Driftless Forest & Woodland Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance contains white pine-dominated and mixed pine - oak forests and woodlands found within the Driftless area of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois. Stands typically occur on mostly dry sites and rocky outcrops along bluffs. <i>Pinus strobus</i> typically dominates. Oak species such as <i>Quercus alba, Quercus rubra, Quercus muehlenbergii</i>, or <i>Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana</i> are common associates and may be locally dominant in some areas. <i>Pinus resinosa</i> is an occasional associate. The understory is extremely variable and typically contains dry to dry-mesic prairie flora in combination with herb and shrub species typical of northern forests.
