Observation Narrative	This plot is located on a secondary dune immediately behind the foredune at First Landing State Park. Strong dominance by Schizachyrium littorale, with Uniola paniculata also present, suggests a "southern" beach-grass association. Patches of open sand support a number of typical dune xerophytes. The invasive sedge Carex kobomugi has high cover on the adjacent dune toward the beach. To the south, this vegetation grades east into dune shrubland with increasing distance from the bay.
