| Summary: | barrens n pl The two million hectares of heath in this region is the largest tract of such vegetation on the North American continent south of the taiga zone. Newfoundlanders have traditionally referred to this vast nonforested landscape as 'barrens'. [This scientist then goes on, pp. 267-270, to distinguish these 'heathlands' under six categories. DNE barrens entry is one of our best. We might scan the long entries to see if any of this info is usable. I suspect that it is more useful for _discussing_ the ambit of lexicography than for defining, but one never knows!] PRINTED ITEM DNE Sup G. M.
