click to update datacart
Name: Distichlis spicata - Ambrosia chamissonis Salt Marsh Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association is only sampled from the Santa Monica Mountains region. Anecdotal observation suggests it may occur northward at least to Marin County in northwestern California, where brackish or saline lagoons and other bodies of water exist adjacent to sand flats or dunes. This herbaceous association occurs on flat to somewhat steep, often northeast slopes at low elevations between 0 and 15 m. It is dominated by <i>Distichlis spicata</i> in the herbaceous layer, and <i>Ambrosia chamissonis</i> is characteristically present as a subdominant. <i>Atriplex lentiformis, Atriplex watsonii</i>, and <i>Suaeda californica</i> are sometimes found in the shrub layer at low cover.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:31784-{1A71E4F8-B4A0-4C6F-B18A-75F2F606CB8C} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
