Name: Monanthochloe littoralis Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association occurs in hypersaline areas on the upper reaches of the tidal flats or salt flats above the normal high tide and is usually only inundated by the highest lunar, wind or storm tides. It is strongly dominated by <i>Monanthochloe littoralis</i>, and may have scattered patches of <i>Sarcocornia pacifica, Sporobolus virginicus, Batis maritima</i>, and <i>Lycium carolinianum</i>. This community generally lacks mangroves, though widely scattered <i>Avicennia germinans</i> (and, less frequently, other mangroves) may occur in Florida and south Texas. In Florida, it grades downslope to <i>Avicennia germinans</i> shrubland and upslope to <i>Conocarpus erectus</i>.
