Name: Cakile edentula ssp. harperi Sparse Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: The South Atlantic Coast upper ocean beach community. This association occupies the upper portion of ocean beaches in the southern part (Cape Hatteras, North Carolina to Cape Romain, South Carolina) of the microtidal region (barrier islands with coastal geomorphology dominated by hurricane overwash rather than tidal energy). It may extend south to Volusia County, Florida, depending on how defined. Characteristic species include mostly annual herbs, such as Cakile edentula ssp. harperi, Chamaesyce polygonifolia, Chamaesyce bombensis, Sesuvium portulacastrum, Salsola kali ssp. kali (= Salsola caroliniana), and Amaranthus pumilus.
