Observation Narrative
This plot is located on the first line of secondary dunes behind the frontal dune. Its vegetation is somewhat transitional between Ammophila breviligulata-dominated foredunes and the Schizachyrium littorale-dominated secondary dunes at the inland edge of the maritime grassland. In this variant Monarda punctata co-dominates with Ammophila.
Dunes 0.1 mi southwest of helipad in north-central part of Wallops Island.
