About: Post oak-blackjack oak barrens

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The post oak-blackjack oak barrens is an extremely small and restricted ecoregion only found on Staten Island. It is part of the North Atlantic Coast ecoregion and is characterized by its abundance of blackjack oak (Quercus marilandica) and post oak (Quercus stellata). The top soil layer is sandy and dry, causing there to be little to no grass and stunted woody growth. Like other pine barrens ecosystems, this habitat is prone to wildfires. It is in severe decline due to human expansion and one of the few places that it is left in is the Clay Pit Ponds State Park Preserve.
