	DNR - Jack Pine Ecosystem
		The jack pine ecosystem is characterized by dense stands of relatively young trees interspersed with small grass and sedge openings and is often called the jack pine "plains" or "barrens." Except for lowland areas of aspen, birch, maple, or cedar and spruce, its vegetation is dry and sparse.
		The jack pine forest is amazingly diverse, forming a rich mosaic of habitats including prairie or grassland species, coniferous and deciduous forest species and enough mixing of these habitats to support "edge" species.
		This ecologically narrow band of relatively young jack pine forest is essential for the survival of the Kirtland's warbler.
