Name: Vitis rotundifolia - Parthenocissus quinquefolia / Triplasis purpurea Unstabilized Dune Sparsely Vegetated Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This alliance consists of very sparsely vegetated large shifting coastal dunes (meda). The vegetation consists primarily of woody vines which reached the canopy of maritime forests now covered by the shifting (rogue) dunes. As the forest was covered by the shifting dune, woody vines were able to grow rapidly enough to avoid being covered, and now form low mounds on the surface of the dune which accumulate wind-blown sand. Scattered vegetation is present, particularly woody vines. Vitis rotundifolia, Parthenocissus quinquefolia, Campsis radicans, and Vitis cinerea var. floridana are particularly prevalent. Scattered clumps of pioneer herbs and subshrubs, such as Uniola paniculata and Hudsonia tomentosa occur in sheltered locations, particularly low on the dune.  Accession Code: VB.CC.21515.VITISROTUNDIFOL Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
