Name: Baccharis halimifolia - Iva frutescens Tidal Shrubland Alliance Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This alliance includes maritime scrub communities typically dominated by Iva frutescens or Baccharis halimifolia or both, growing in association with salt marshes. These communities occur primarily in estuarine margin situations, especially on the sound sides of barrier islands. Characteristically, these communities form an ecotone between salt marsh and upland vegetation or in areas within the salt marsh having slightly higher elevations and lower salinity levels than the surrounding marsh. Storm-induced disturbance causes periodic die-back of the shrubs restricting the extent of their spread. Characteristic species include Baccharis halimifolia, Iva frutescens, Rosa carolina, Spartina patens, and Panicum virgatum.  Accession Code: VB.CC.19807.BACCHARISHALIMI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
