Name: Uniola paniculata - Schizachyrium littorale - Panicum amarum Grassland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This dunegrass association occurs on ocean front dunes on barrier islands and barrier spits in the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain, from southeastern Virginia to South Carolina and possibly Georgia. <i>Uniola paniculata</i> is the dominant species, with <i>Schizachyrium littorale</i> and <i>Panicum amarum</i> also common and characteristic. <i>Ammophila breviligulata</i> may be common in Dare and Currituck counties of northeastern North Carolina, and in southeastern Virginia. Other typical species include <i>Croton punctatus, Oenothera humifusa, Physalis walteri, Hydrocotyle bonariensis, Heterotheca subaxillaris</i>, and <i>Chrysopsis gossypina</i>. This is the characteristic foredune vegetation immediately south and north of the Outer Banks of North Carolina, perhaps associated with slightly loamier soils with more influence of riverine sediments.
