Name: Solidago sempervirens - (Rhodiola rosea) - Juniperus horizontalis Sparse Vegetation Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This maritime headland community occurs on the northern Atlantic Coast from central Maine to the Canadian 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 <i>Juniperus horizontalis, Plantago maritima, Lathyrus japonicus</i>, and <i>Solidago sempervirens</i>, with other species of open maritime habitats, such as <i>Prenanthes trifoliolata, Achillea millefolium</i>, and <i>Festuca rubra</i>. Where the substrate becomes cobbly, <i>Mertensia maritima</i> may occur, and in somewhat protected hollows or near the forest border <i>Angelica atropurpurea</i> and <i>Ligusticum scoticum</i> are typical. Through most of this association's range, the dominants are accompanied by plants of boreal affinity, including <i>Rhodiola rosea, Iris setosa, Lomatogonium rotatum, Primula laurentiana, Agalinis neoscotica, Sagina nodosa ssp. borealis</i>, and <i>Euphrasia randii</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35159-{ADB79443-8F29-4907-B951-F6106899CC9F} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
