Name: Ammophila breviligulata - Lathyrus japonicus Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This dune grassland of maritime beaches occurs along the North Atlantic coast from New Jersey north to central Maine. This association primarily occurs on active maritime dunes, on both foredunes that are exposed to onshore winds and salt spray as well as more protected interdunes. The substrate is wind-deposited sand with no soil development. <i>Ammophila breviligulata</i> is the dominant species, often occurring monotypically. <i>Lathyrus japonicus</i> is a common associate and can be codominant. Other associated species include <i>Solidago sempervirens, Lechea maritima, Aristida tuberculosa, Schizachyrium scoparium, Carex silicea, Polygonella articulata</i>, and <i>Artemisia stelleriana</i>. Dwarf-shrubs, such as <i>Hudsonia tomentosa</i>, can occur sporadically and form locally dominant patches. Vegetation cover is often sparse, and bare sand is usually evident.  Accession Code: VB.CC.31430.CEGL006274 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
