Observation Narrative	The plot is located within a salt flat that was recently inundated by a monthly high tide. This neap tide removed wrack that had accumulated after a hurricane storm surge. The vegetation is low (<0.5 m) except for a few small patches of Spartina spp. that are ca. one meter tall. Succulent halophytes, including Sarcocornia perennis, Salicornia bigelovii, Borrichia frutescens, and Suaeda linearis, comprise most of the patchy vegetation.
