Observation Narrative	This plot documents a typical, narrow zone of low, patchy, salt-tolerant herbaceous vegetation on the upper beach (toe of foredune) at First Landing State Park. The succulents Cakile edentula and Salsola caroliniana are most characteristic, along with Cenchrus tribuloides, Xanthium strumarium, and stunted individuals of a few other typical dune plants.
