Ross

I believe the answer is:

sparse

'thinly scattered' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for sparse that I've seen before include "Thinly scattered, not dense" , "Thinly dispersed" , "Thinly populated" , "Thin on the ground, scarce" , "Meagre, thin on the ground" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com, The Guardian, The Star Tribune, the Newsday, The Times, the Universal, the King Feature Syndicate, the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
