Name: Smilax auriculata - Toxicodendron radicans Vine-Shrubland Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This association consists of vine-covered maritime sand dunes in the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain, generally dominated by Smilax auriculata and Toxicodendron radicans. These dense vines cover the crests of dunes exposed to salt spray and winds. The dominant species of any single dune may be variable, possibly including the nominals, but also including other Smilax spp., Vitis rotundifolia, or Parthenocissus quinquefolia. In some cases, the vines are low-growing and occur directly on the sand surface, but in other cases, the vegetation has a height of 1 m or more, with younger vines growing over older stems of the same species, or over other shrubs. The vegetation is generally low to the ground (less than 5 dm (1.5 feet) tall) and generally covers 70-80% of the ground surface with the remainder being exposed sand.  Accession Code: VB.CC.23574.SMILAXAURICULAT Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
