Name: Borrichia frutescens Tidal Shrub Salt Marsh Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance includes tidal areas in upper marsh edges and flats dominated by <i>Borrichia frutescens</i>. It occurs at spatial scales ranging from narrow bands to flats in excess of 500 ha; it often occurs either just below <i>Iva frutescens</i> or <i>Baccharis halimifolia</i>, or just above <i>Juncus roemerianus</i> or <i>Spartina alterniflora</i>. Other characteristic species include <i>Spartina patens, Iva frutescens ssp. frutescens, Iva frutescens ssp. oraria</i>, and <i>Limonium carolinianum</i>. In Texas, the composition of this low-diversity, irregularly tidally flooded shrubland is variable and can include <i>Batis maritima, Limonium carolinianum, Lycium carolinianum var. quadrifidum, Monanthochloe littoralis, Rayjacksonia phyllocephala, Sarcocornia perennis, Spartina spartinae</i>, and <i>Sporobolus virginicus</i>. This alliance also houses a single undescribed provisional association dominated by <i>Borrichia arborescens</i> in Florida. This alliance ranges from North Carolina south to Texas.
