Name: Pinus banksiana - Pinus resinosa - Quercus ellipsoidalis Subboreal Rocky Woodland Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance is found in subboreal regions of the northwestern Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada. Stands typically occur on shallow, well-drained rocky sites. Soils are thin (&lt;50 cm) to absent on bedrock. The tree canopy is scattered, often stunted, and dominated by <i>Quercus ellipsoidalis, Pinus banksiana, Pinus resinosa</i>, or <i>Pinus strobus</i>. It can vary from pure deciduous to mixed evergreen-deciduous to evergreen. Shrub and herbaceous layers are highly variable, ranging from sparse to up to 80% cover. A nonvascular layer can be present or absent and is typically dominated by <i>Cladonia</i> spp.
