Observation Narrative	Foredune grassland dominated by Uniola paniculata. Unlike the similarly situated plot FCSP014, this sample lacks Ammophila breviligulata and has only a local representation of Panicum amarum ssp. amarum. The low sprawling grasses Triplasis purpurea and Cenchrus tribuloides are abundant under the taller Uniola. Although the vegetation is natural, the dune was probably manipulated (i.e., built up) as part of a widespread dune stabilization program by the Corps of Engineers in the early part of the 20th century.
