Name: Spartina alterniflora - Distichlis spicata Tidal Salt Marsh Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association of the mid-Atlantic represents low salt marsh vegetation dominated by the "short form" of <i>Spartina alterniflora</i> and <i>Distichlis spicata</i>, although the latter species may be somewhat less abundant. Most occurrences of this community type are located in nonriverine, mesohaline marshes subject to regular, diurnal tides. Diversity is exceedingly low. Some stands may be codominated by <i>Spartina patens</i>. Other associates may include <i>Limonium carolinianum, Solidago sempervirens</i>, and occasional succulents, including <i>Salicornia depressa, Salicornia bigelovii, Suaeda linearis</i>, and <i>Sarcocornia perennis</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35207-{AE89AC83-6A55-4F81-910F-8610CFA4D01B} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 11
