Name: Borrichia frutescens / (Spartina patens, Juncus roemerianus) Shrubland Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This association includes upper marsh edges and flats strongly dominated by Borrichia frutescens, ranging in size from narrow bands to flats in excess of 500 ha. It is broadly described to include vegetation ranging from the Middle and South Atlantic Coast to the West Gulf Coast of the United States. It may occur just below Iva frutescens or Baccharis halimifolia shrublands and just above marshes dominated by Juncus roemerianus or Spartina alterniflora. Other characteristic species may include Spartina patens, Iva frutescens, and Limonium carolinianum. In Texas, the composition of this low-diversity, irregularly tidally flooded shrubland is variable and can include Distichlis spicata, Schoenoplectus robustus, Sporobolus virginicus, Monanthochloe littoralis, Atriplex matamorensis (in south Texas), Sarcocornia perennis, Limonium carolinianum, Lycium carolinianum var. quadrifidum, Rayjacksonia phyllocephala, Prosopis reptans (in south Texas), and Batis maritima. Here, this community often occurs just above the lower tidal flat communities Batis maritima - Sarcocornia perennis Dwarf-shrubland (CEGL003956) or Sarcocornia perennis - Batis maritima - Distichlis spicata Dwarf-shrubland (CEGL002278).  Accession Code: VB.CC.24592.BORRICHIAFRUTES Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
