Type Concept: These saturated wetlands of the New Jersey Pine Barrens are dominated by Calamovilfa brevipilis. Other herbaceous associates include Gentiana autumnalis, Symphyotrichum dumosum, Solidago spp., and others. Shrubs are widely scattered, the most characteristic being Gaylussacia dumosa. Other shrubs may include Vaccinium corymbosum, Lyonia mariana, Chamaedaphne calyculata, Gaylussacia baccata, Gaylussacia frondosa, and Kalmia angustifolia. Sphagnum mosses make up the bryophyte layer. This vegetation is maintained by frequent fire, and is currently maintained by active ordnance explosion and burning on a military range.
