Observation Narrative	Plot is located on an interior, stabilized, backdune about 300 meters inland from the beach in the northern part of Hog Island. Supporting a wholly herbaceous maritime grassland, the low dune ridge is abruptly bordered on either side by lower swales supporting dense Myrica cerifera scrub. The xerophytic dune grass complex here is composed primarily of Spartina patens, Panicum amarum var. amarum, Triplasis purpurea, and Aristida tuberculosa. Schizachyrium littorale, Dichanthelium ovale, Eragrostis spectabilis, and several forbs occur at low cover.
