Name: Inland Freshwater Strand Beach Sparse Vegetation
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This freshwater inland lake beach occurs throughout the upper midwestern and northeastern United States and adjacent Canada. Stands may be most common on sandy outwash plains, where lakes are large enough to be affected by wave action or annual fluctuations in water level. Stands are found in the lower beach zone, which has submergent and floating-leaved aquatics tolerant of stranding. Species composition of this type needs to be described; in Pennsylvania the Lake Erie shore is characterized by <i>Ammophila breviligulata, Cakile edentula, Elymus canadensis, Lathyrus japonicus, Argentina anserina (= Potentilla anserina)</i>, and <i>Xanthium strumarium</i>.
