Voucher specimens collected at various sites were deposited in the vascular plant herbarium at Agriculture Canada in Ottawa (DAO). Status of plant species was determined by using Maher et al. (1978), the recent listing of species at risk (Nova Scotia De- partment of Natural Resources 2001*) and informa- tion and lists on file at the Atlantic Conservation Data Centre in Sackville. At sites 20-23, plant association sampling methods were employed following provincial plot standards (Quigley et al. 2005*) and Canadian vegetation clas- sification conventions (CNVC Technical Committee 2004*). In May of 2005, at each of the four sites, a four hundred square meter plot was subjectively placed in a homogeneous tract of heathland vegetation, where can- opy tree cover exceeded 10 percent. The sampled asso- ciation was the open woodland stage of the Annapolis Valley sand plain. Species and cover values, represent- ing percentage of plot area within a vegetation layer, were visually assessed for five life forms (Table 3). Lichen names follow Esslinger (1997*), bryophyte names follow Anderson et al. (1990), and vascular plant names are from Kartesz and Meachum (1999). Although many voucher specimens were collected (and deposited at DAO), a sufficient number of speci- mens of the ge
