Name: Pinus rigida - Hudsonia tomentosa - Pityopsis falcata Sparse Vegetation Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This community is currently known only from Rhode Island, where large expanses of bare sand occur on inland dunes. Vegetation is sparse, characterized by very stunted <i>Pinus rigida</i> (10 cm tall), <i>Hudsonia tomentosa, Pityopsis falcata</i>, and lichens. The cause of sand exposure is not known with confidence, as the two currently known occurrences are in different environmental settings. One is adjacent to a river and may be the result of past flooding events. The other occurrence is on an island in Narragansett Bay.  Accession Code: VB.CC.31337.CEGL006391 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
