This dwarf pine plains community is restricted to the Outer Coastal Plain of New Jersey. The short stature of the vegetation is a result of very high fire frequency, which is fostered by dry sandy soil on flat to gently rolling topography and relative paucity of wetlands to act as firebreaks. Occurrences are found at elevations of 30.5-61 m (100-200 feet) above sea level in gently rolling terrain. Soils are well-drained to poorly drained, with high permeability, and a sand to sandy loam subsoil (Woodmansie-Lakehurst association). The dominant trees are dwarfed (less than 3.4 m tall), multi-stemmed <i>Pinus rigida, Quercus marilandica</i>, and <i>Quercus ilicifolia</i>. <i>Pinus rigida</i> makes up 25-65% of the trees, with the oak species making up the rest. There is a notable absence of <i>Pinus echinata</i> or any other oak species. Characteristic shrubs include <i>Kalmia latifolia, Kalmia angustifolia, Comptonia peregrina</i>, and <i>Leiophyllum buxifolium</i>. The ground layer is comprised of dwarf-shrubs, forbs and grasses, including <i>Gaultheria procumbens, Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, Pyxidanthera barbulata, Epigaea repens, Hudsonia ericoides, Carex pensylvanica, Schizachyrium scoparium, Andropogon virginicus, Danthonia spicata, Pteridium aquilinum, Helianthemum canadense, Hypericum gentianoides</i>, and <i>Polygonella articulata</i>. <i>Corema conradii</i> is prominent in places. Lichens, such as <i>Cladonia caroliniana</i> and <i>Cladonia strepsilis</i>, sparsely cover the ground. |

This red maple swamp occurs in poorly drained depressions containing acidic, tannic water without substantial nutrient input from overland flow. The core of distribution is the North Atlantic Coast and adjacent Lower New England / Northern Piedmont ecoregions. Soils are organic and hummock-hollow microtopography is evident. <i>Acer rubrum</i> dominates the canopy often with abundant <i>Nyssa sylvatica</i>. The subcanopy varies from sparse to fairly well-developed and may feature <i>Ulmus americana</i> or occasionally <i>Quercus bicolor</i>, along with additional <i>Acer rubrum</i>. The shrub layer is characterized by <i>Vaccinium corymbosum, Clethra alnifolia, Ilex verticillata, Rhododendron viscosum, Leucothoe racemosa</i>, and on the Atlantic Coastal Plain <i>Ilex glabra</i> may also be present. The herbaceous layer is not particularly diverse, characterized by <i>Osmunda cinnamomea, Symplocarpus foetidus, Carex intumescens, Osmunda regalis, Arisaema triphyllum</i>, and <i>Onoclea sensibilis</i>. <i>Sphagnum</i> mosses make up the bryophyte layer. This community is differentiated from <i>~Acer rubrum - Nyssa sylvatica - Betula alleghaniensis / Sphagnum</i> spp. Forest (CEGL006014)$$ by the absence or infrequent occurrence of <i>Tsuga canadensis, Betula alleghaniensis, Nemopanthus mucronatus, Carex trisperma, Clintonia borealis</i>, and by the presence of species with more southern affinities such as <i>Clethra alnifolia, Ilex glabra</i>, and <i>Rhododendron viscosum</i>. |
