Observation Narrative
Plot was positioned in a swale behind a foredune at First Landing State Park. The habitat probably holds greater moisture than most dune sites in this area, but was dry at time of survey and is probably not a wetland in the strict sense. Spartina patens dominates in this habitat, with Solidago sempervirens var. sempervirens a very important and conspicuous associate.
