Name: Spartina alterniflora - Distichlis spicata Tidal Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association of the mid-Atlantic represents low salt marsh vegetation dominated by the "short form" of <i>Spartina alterniflora</i> and <i>Distichlis spicata</i>, although the latter species may be somewhat less abundant. Most occurrences of this community type are located in nonriverine, mesohaline marshes subject to regular, diurnal tides. Diversity is exceedingly low. Some stands may be codominated by <i>Spartina patens</i>. Other associates may include <i>Limonium carolinianum, Solidago sempervirens</i>, and occasional succulents, including <i>Salicornia virginica, Salicornia bigelovii, Suaeda linearis</i>, and <i>Sarcocornia perennis</i>.  Accession Code: VB.CC.30934.CEGL006586 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
