Links to Other Sites on Barrens
There are many different names applied to "barren" communities, reflecting the many possible combinations of local conditions. They share a low rate of productivity that is often related to very well drained soils which result in extreme dryness, low nutrient content, and sometimes acidic soil pH values. There are several kinds of barrens in Wisconsin, each with a particular combination of physical conditions and history and each supporting a somewhat distinctive flora.
