Name: Iva frutescens Tidal Shrub Salt Marsh Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance includes tidal shrub vegetation typically characterized by <i>Iva frutescens</i>. It occurs primarily in estuarine margin situations, especially on the sound sides of barrier islands. Characteristically, this vegetation forms an ecotone between salt marsh and upland vegetation or in areas within the salt marsh having slightly higher elevations and lower salinity levels than the surrounding marsh. Storm-induced disturbance causes periodic die-back of the shrubs restricting the extent of their spread. Characteristic species include <i>Baccharis halimifolia, Iva frutescens, Rosa carolina, Spartina patens</i>, and <i>Panicum virgatum</i>.
