Name: Festuca rubra - Ambrosia chamissonis Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association is found on coastal spits and sandy beach berms in the Puget Lowlands of Washington. It may also occur rarely on the Oregon coast, and may have formerly occurred in British Columbia It typically is found on portions of the spit/berm that are relatively stabilized and not exposed to the full force of wind and waves. The association is dominated by the grass Festuca rubra, in relatively open to fully closed stands. The forbs Grindelia stricta and Ambrosia chamissonis are sometimes subdominant and almost always present. The community is typically relatively diverse in composition, with several other salt-tolerant species often present. It is distinguished by the dominance of Festuca rubra and the presence of Ambrosia chamissonis, as well as its habitat of coastal spits or berms.  Accession Code: VB.CC.18088.FESTUCARUBRAAMB Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
