Jack pine trees and jack pine forest types are common on the poorer sandy soils of the Lake States.  Few other trees and forests can successfully occupy these sites.  Jack pine is especially known for serotinous cones, fire-adaptations, natural monocultural characteristics, and habitat for the Kirtland’s Warbler.
