Name: Muhlenbergia filipes - Spartina patens - Eustachys petraea Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association represents moist interdune flats codominated by some combination of Muhlenbergia filipes, Spartina patens, and Eustachys petraea. In Florida this community occurs in narrow bands or swales alternating with higher ridges. These often fill with standing water after rains. In North Carolina and Georgia, it may occupy broader grassy flats between the outer dunes and the salt marsh on the inland side of barrier islands, as well as narrow dune swales. Succession to woody vegetation is indicated by increasing cover of Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera) or Salix caroliniana.
