In temperate North America, the species occurs in well-drained to mesic soils in a wide range of habitats, at elevations of 0–1500 m (but mostly below 500 m). Seedling establishment generally is poor in calcareous soils with low organic content. Along the Great Lakes, Pinus strobus is a component of interdunal pineries on sand dunes. It can occur in bogs. It also is a component of mixed conifer/deciduous broadleaf hardwood forests. The species has been planted in monocultures in plantations and also has been used to revegetate mine spoils.
The var. chiapensis occurs in various montane and cloud forests, often mixed with broadleaf hardwoods, usually in well-drained loamy soils, at elevations of (500–)800–2000 m. Source documents: Price (1989), Kral (1993), Farjon et al. (1997), Farjon (2005).
