Name: Spartina patens - Thinopyrum pycnanthum Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This dune grassland of central New England occurs on the interface between upper salt marsh and sand dunes. These low dunes may be periodically flooded by storm tides, most frequently during the winter when plants are dormant. The association is characterized by a dominance of Spartina patens (= var. monogyna), Elymus repens (= Agropyron repens), or Thinopyrum pycnanthum (= Agropyron pungens). All three species may be present or one may occur alone. Other associates are rare, but when present may include Ammophila breviligulata, Oenothera biennis, Artemisia campestris ssp. caudata (= Artemisia caudata), Solidago sempervirens, and Rosa rugosa.  Accession Code: VB.CC.28082.SPARTINAPATENST Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
