Observation Narrative	Plot located on a long, narrow dune that lies discontinuously between beach strand and polyhaline marshes on Parkers Island. The dune at the plot location is very well developed and relatively high for this site, being located next to an accreting beach. Floristic composition is typical for Eastern Shore dune grasslands, with variable co-dominance by Ammophila breviligulata, Panicum amarum var. amarulum, and Solidago sempervirens.
