Name: Pinus rigida - Pinus echinata Woodland Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance includes pitch pine woodlands of the New Jersey Pine Barrens, with small outliers in New York, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. Associations are dominated by <i>Pinus rigida</i> with or without an admixture of dry-site canopy oaks such as <i>Quercus alba, Quercus coccinea, Quercus falcata</i>, and <i>Quercus stellata</i>. <i>Quercus marilandica</i> and <i>Quercus ilicifolia</i> often form a subcanopy. Ericaceous shrubs usually form a dense field layer, but graminoids are more prominent in examples that have been disturbed. Fire is an important ecological process. In the northeastern United States, associations in this alliance occur on rapidly drained sandy soils and xeric, sandy terraces within the Atlantic Coastal Plain, including paleodunes and other habitats of the New Jersey Pine Barrens.
