Name: Cakile constricta Sparse Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This type represents the eastern Gulf Coast upper ocean beach community. Other characteristic species include Iva imbricata, Atriplex cristata (= Atriplex pentandra), and Ipomoea imperati. This community occurs along driftlines formed by the highest spring tides and, on stable coasts, is annually destroyed and re-formed. On prograding beaches or beaches re-building after storm destruction of the foredune, this community may form the initial nucleus on which the foredune (dominated by Uniola paniculata) is re-built (A.F. Johnson pers. obs.).
