Coastal Barrens of Nova Scotia J. Lundholm, with help from E. Oberndorfer and S. Burley. We have been working on coastal barrens in Nova Scotia since 2004. Coastal barrens occur mainly along the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia, but are isolated from one another by forested habitats and by development. I was surprised to find almost nothing published about these habitats when I relocated from Ontario, so our lab began the first quantitative descriptions of coastal barrens in Nova Scotia (Oberndorfer and Lundholm 2009). This “paper” summarizes what we know about the ecology and natural history of this habitat. 1. Description of Vegetation and Physical Landscape Coastal barrens could be called heathlands, in that they are relatively unproductive, have poorly developed organic soils and are dominated by plants in the Ericaceae. They have similarities to heathland habitats in northern Europe and share at least a handfull of species. The are also similar to tundra habitats and several of the species common on Nova Scotia coastal barrens are found in greater abundance further north (e.g. Empetrum nigrum) Coastal barrens are not very common in Nova Scotia, with the majority being concentrated on the Chebucto Peninsula (especially around Peggy’s Cove) and in the Canso area. These kinds of habitats are much more abundant in Newfoundland where barrens cover large areas. There is apparently very little of this vegetation in New Brunswick and PEI although there is a small barren near the wind power installation at North Cape (I believe it is called Black Marsh—it is definitely more of a bog). The barrens habitat in Nova Scotia is really a mosaic of several different habitats occurring in patches of various sizes across the barrens landscape: bogs occur in depressions where water accumulates. These are characterized by many typical bog species including Sarracenia purpurea, Sphagnum spp., Carex trisperma, Carex nigra, Vaccinium oxycoccus, etc. The larger bog patches
