The final part illustrates community relationships of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, arthropods, and soil microcommunities. Plants of the Pine Barrens are briefly described and listed in Part V. Part IV traces the history of vegetation starting before the Ice Age and analyzes vegetation using different approaches, such as community types, community classification according to a European method, and gradient analysis. Pine Barrens and Pinelands are used interchangeably by some, but they each have different meanings. For years, residents of the rural area were called Pineys by outsiders, as a derogatory term. Topics on hydrology, aquatic ecosystems, and climatic and microclimatic conditions are presented in the third part of this reference. The Pine Barrens were home to many rural, backwoods families. The next part of the book describes sandy deposits, geographic distribution of geologic formations, and soil types with their ecologically important characteristics. The Pine Barrens were formed in the Tertiary Era, over 2,6 million years ago. Pine Barrens, or The Pinelands or simply The Pines, covers 1,1 million acres (4,500 km2) of woodland. Many pine barrens have a layer of heath shrubs (<0.5 m tall) below the canopy. The history of Pine Barrens Pine Barrens. Part I covers human activities, from Indian activities and initial European perceptions of the land, including settlement, lumbering, fuel wood and charcoal, iron and glassworks, farming and livestock, and real estate development. The actual vegetation of a barren depends on how recently or frequently it burned. This seven-part book starts with a short discussion on location and boundaries of the New Jersey Pine Barrens. They vanish into surrounding uplands for the remainder of the year. The idea in this book is based from the discussions of Rutgers University botanists and ecologists at the 1975 American Institute of Biological Science meetings, and from the interest generated by the 1976 annual New Jersey Academy of Science meeting, which focuses on the Pine Barrens. Long considered an icon of the New Jersey Pinelands, the Pine Barrens Treefrog can be heard and observed readily in appropriate habitats and times in late spring. Pine Barrens: Ecosystem and Landscape focuses on the relationship between the ecological and landscape aspects of Pine Barrens of New Jersey. ![]()
