	NCSSF - Pine Barrens
		Pine barrens typically occur on xeric sand plains of the northeastern coastal plain (Boerner 1981, Forman and Boerner 1981) or on the sandy glacial outwash of major river valleys (Motzkin et al.
		The locations and existence of current pitch pine canopies within the presettlement range of pine barrens may be the result of former land use in the late 1800s to early 1900s, including farm abandonment and/or cutting, combined with a subsequent period of increased fire frequency.
		In the Ossipee Pine Barrens in New Hampshire, mature pine forests date from fires in 1885, 1920, and 1957 (Patterson 2003), and fuel models for the barrens predicted surface flame lengths of 2.3-3.6 m and a rate of spread of 3.1-8.8 m per minute in 16.1 kph (10 mph) winds.

		Pine barrens communities occur on the Ronkonkoma Moraine and on the outwash plains north and south of the moraine.
		Suppression of wildfires that are so essential to the maintenance of the pine barrens ecosystem could result in marked vegetation changes and loss of the characteristic pinelands biota, including many of its rare species; however, the use of prescribed burns may be limited due to the surrounding development in some areas.
		Management of public lands within the pine barrens must be focused on maintaining the ecological integrity of the pine barrens as a whole and the rare ecological communities and species within the pine barrens.

	BCLS-Vegetation of the Pine Barrens
		Shortleaf pine, fl oak, white oak, chestnut oak, post oak and fljack oak are prominent in the canopies of the upland forests throughout the region.
		Pine roots in the Plains forecasts were found to support about seven stems each; there were only two stems from each oak root.
		Owing to this vegetstion and to the area's sparse settlement, the Pine Barrens is of formidable significance as a natural open space and recreation source to the people of New Jersey, of the Eastern Seaboard's megapolitan rcgion and of the Nation.

		Pine Barrens soil is so infertile and dry because the majority of it consists of sand (90% of which is quartz or silica (SiO2)), which was deposited 140-100 million years ago, when southern New Jersey was covered by the ocean.
		The Pine Barrens is relatively flat and often referred to as the outer coastal plain.
		The Pine Barrens region is known for its slow, crawling rivers and streams, which are highly acidic and tinted brown, a result of the high iron content of Pine Barrens soils and tannins that leach from organic matter along the banks of the water passageways.

	Pine Barrens of Ocean County, NJ General Information from Pineypower
		The Pine Barrens are part of 1.1 million acres of the Pinelands National Reserve, which ranges from northern Ocean County south and west, and occupies 22% of New Jersey's land area.
		The "pygmy" pines, a stunted variety the pitch pine, can be seen at their best on Route 72 which runs northwest from Stafford Township through to Burlington County and beyond to the Philadelphia area.
		Here stand hundreds of pines, many of which are dead, but others have sprouted new branches after their old ones were burned in a major forest fire in 1995 that burned over 19,200 acres of Pine Barrens.

	BCLS-Fire Effects in New Jersey's Pine Barrens
		Oaks have thinner bark than the pitch and shortleaf pines of the Barrens, so less heat is needed to kill their cambium.
		Low growth of pitch pine and scrub (bear and fljack) oaks, such as that found near the Burlington-Ocean County line along Route 72, is due chiefly to repeated killing fires that keep sprouts young and small.
		However, these pines are usually slow-growing for two notable reasons: (1) many stems probably started as sprouts and (2) many of the pines lived through one or more fires that killed their crowns.

	Pine barrens Information
		Pine barrens, also known as "pine plains", "sand plains", "pinelands", "pine bush", and "pitch pine-scrub oak barrens", occur throughout the northeastern U.S. from New Jersey to Maine (see Atlantic coastal pine barrens) as well as the Midwest and Canada.
		Pine barrens are plant communities that occur on dry, acidic, infertile soils dominated by grasses, forbs, low shrubs, and scattered trees; most extensive barrens occur in large areas of sandy glacial deposits, including outwash plains, lakebeds, and outwash terraces along rivers.
		Pine barrens support a number of rare species, including lepidoptera such as the Karner Blue butterfly (Lycaeides melissa samuelis) and the barrens buckmoth (Hemileuca maia), and plants such as the Sand-plain Gerardia (Agalinis acuta).

		Although New Jersey has the heaviest population density of any state, huge segments of the pines--as the Pine Barrens are often called--have no people in them at all, and the few towns in the central forest are extremely small.
		Technically--that is, by their geological and botanical dimensions--the Pine Barrens cover eighteen hundred and seventy-five square miles, or about a fourth of the state.
		The Pine Barrens are not only close to New York and to Philadelphia; they are exactly halfway and on a beeline between Boston and Richmond, and are thus at the absolute center of the great Eastern megalopolis.

		Barrens support different plant and wildlife populations than denser pitch pine/tree oak forests do, and moths especially flourish in barrens.
		These barrens are often in areas desirable to developers, because the topography is well-suited to construction.
