Sesuvium portulacastrum - Atriplex patula - Suaeda linearis Salt Flat Alliance | NatureServe Biotics 2019
click to update datacart
Name: Sesuvium portulacastrum - Atriplex patula - Suaeda linearis Salt Flat Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This irregularly flooded beach and salt flat vegetation is dominated by <i>Atriplex patula, Sesuvium portulacastrum</i>, and <i>Suaeda linearis</i>. It is found along the Atlantic and northern Gulf of Mexico coasts on the backside of the ends of barrier islands, where examples are only irregularly flooded. In contrast to <i>Salicornia</i>- or <i>Distichlis</i>-dominated areas, they apparently accumulate less salt. The physiognomy tends to be of scattered mound-like clumps of vegetation (mostly <i>Sesuvium portulacastrum</i>) in a wet sand flat.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:38283-{8B7BBE6B-65AE-471E-B1E2-355961B9A7AA} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
