CEGL002589 Pinus banksiana - Pinus resinosa - Pinus strobus Dune Forest
Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Jack Pine - Red Pine - Eastern White Pine Dune Forest
Colloquial Name: Great Lakes Dune Pine Forest
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This pine dune forest is found on dune systems on Lake Superior, Lake Michigan and Lake Huron in the United States and Canada. The canopy is more-or-less closed and is dominated by Pinus banksiana, Pinus resinosa, and Pinus strobus. This type has not been well-described, and further characterization is needed.
Diagnostic Characteristics: No Data Available
Rationale for Nominal Species or Physiognomic Features: No Data Available
Classification Comments: Type is not described in Ontario by Lee et al. (1998). Its extent in the United States may be limited, and a review of its concept is needed. Perhaps this type can be combined with Great Lakes Pine Barrens, ~Pinus banksiana - (Pinus resinosa) - Pinus strobus / Juniperus horizontalis Wooded Grassland (CEGL005125)$$, or can be dissolved into the respective Pinus banksiana, Pinus resinosa or Pinus strobus inland forests on sand. Type (whether as forest or barrens) has been eliminated in Illinois.
