Name: Borrichia frutescens Tidal Shrubland Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This alliance includes tidal areas in upper marsh edges and flats dominated by Borrichia frutescens. It occurs at spatial scales ranging from narrow bands to flats in excess of 500 ha; it often occurs either just below Iva frutescens or Baccharis halimifolia, or just above Juncus roemerianus or Spartina alterniflora. Other characteristic species include Spartina patens, Iva frutescens ssp. frutescens, Iva frutescens ssp. oraria, and Limonium carolinianum. In Texas, the composition of this low-diversity, irregularly tidally flooded shrubland is variable and can include Spartina spartinae, Sporobolus virginicus, Monanthochloe littoralis, Sarcocornia perennis, Limonium carolinianum, Lycium carolinianum var. quadrifidum, Rayjacksonia phyllocephala, and Batis maritima. Here, these communities often occur just above the lower tidal flat communities Batis maritima - Sarcocornia perennis Dwarf-shrubland (CEGL003956) or Sarcocornia perennis - Batis maritima - Distichlis spicata Dwarf-shrubland (CEGL002278).
