Name: Pinus strobus - Pinus resinosa - Quercus rubra Forest & Woodland Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance contains pine-dominated and mixed pine-oak forests and woodlands found in the upper Midwest and New England of the United States, and in eastern temperate Canada. Most examples are dominated by <i>Pinus strobus</i> or <i>Pinus resinosa</i>. Hardwood species such as <i>Quercus alba, Quercus rubra</i>, or <i>Populus tremuloides</i> are common associates and may be locally dominant in some areas. The shrub and understory layers vary from sparse to moderately dense. Some typical shrubs include <i>Acer spicatum, Cornus</i> spp., <i>Corylus cornuta, Kalmia latifolia</i>, and <i>Vaccinium</i> spp. Common herbaceous species include <i>Aralia nudicaulis, Eurybia macrophylla, Gaultheria procumbens</i>, and <i>Maianthemum canadense</i>. Stands typically occur on mostly mesic and dry-mesic sites within glaciated landscapes. Soils are typically acidic and range from shallow to moderately deep. Fire and logging can heavily impact examples of this alliance.
