USE: Nearly all areas are wooded.
VEGETATION: Native vegetation is influenced by the frequency of forest fires at each site. Where wildfires have been prevalent, the vegetation is scrub oak, pitch pine, and black jack oaks less than 5 feet tall. In other areas of less severe fires, the vegetation consists of black, white, and scarlet oaks; pitch, shortleaf, and Virginia pines, and an understory of ericaceous shrubs.
DISTRIBUTION: The eastern part of the Atlantic Coastal Plain in New
Jersey
EXTENT: Moderate
SERIES ESTABLISHED: New
Jersey,
Burlington County, 1967
