Name: Solidago sempervirens - (Rhodiola rosea) - Juniperus horizontalis Sparse Vegetation
Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This maritime headland community occurs on the northern Atlantic coast from central Maine to the maritime provinces. The vegetation is of sparse and variable cover, and is maintained in the open condition by wind, salt spray, ice, and storm waves. The most characteristic species are Juniperus horizontalis, Plantago maritima, Lathyrus japonicus, and Solidago sempervirens, with other species of open maritime habitats, such as Prenanthes trifoliolata, Achillea millefolium, and Festuca rubra. Where the substrate becomes cobbly, Mertensia maritima may occur, and in somewhat protected hollows or near the forest border Angelica atropurpurea and Ligusticum scoticum are typical. Through most of this association's range, the dominants are accompanied by plants of boreal affinity, including Rhodiola rosea (= Sedum rosea), Iris setosa, Lomatogonium rotatum, Primula laurentiana, Agalinis neoscotica, Sagina nodosa ssp. borealis, and Euphrasia randii.
