Name: A.1860
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: Annual-dominated sand flats on island end flats and upper ocean beaches, within the reach of storm tides and extreme lunar tides. This alliance has more perennial species than the related ~~Cakile edentula$ Sparse Vegetation Alliance (A.1861)$$, since the Gulf Coast shoreline is a lower-energy system, and the alliance is less dynamic and less frequently disturbed. Other characteristic species include ~Iva imbricata, Ipomoea pes-caprae$, and ~Ipomoea imperati$.
