Observation Narrative	original plot ID: AA0439, Vegetation type confidence: Less Atriplex at south end of polygon. Open salt flat areas within polygon. Atriplex clustered throughout most of polygon. Species composition changes from water edge to where the soil is drier. In drier higher spots Atriplex dominates. Much of the Disticlis in the SW part of the polygon should be pulled into the Disticlis spicata polygon to the west. Keys ok but Atriplex lentiformis does have assocation with various salt marsh species;
