click to update datacart
Name: Cakile edentula ssp. edentula Atlantic Beach Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This alliance includes annual-dominated sandy, gravel, or cobble beach of upper ocean beaches of the northeastern U.S. and Canadian Maritime Provinces, within the reach of storm tides and extreme lunar tides. Vegetative cover is variable, depending on the amount of exposure to wave and wind action, but on average is sparse; no species can be considered dominant. Annual or biennial species more-or-less restricted to beach habitats are characteristic of this alliance, including <i>Ammophila breviligulata, Cakile edentula ssp. edentula</i>, as well as <i>Salsola kali ssp. kali, Chamaesyce polygonifolia, Honckenya peploides, Cenchrus tribuloides, Amaranthus retroflexus, Chenopodium album, Erechtites hieraciifolius, Atriplex cristata</i>, and <i>Triplasis purpurea</i>. In Maine and the Maritime Provinces, <i>Suaeda maritima, Mertensia maritima, Glaux maritima, Honckenya peploides, Carex silicea</i>, and <i>Elymus repens</i> may be more typical associates.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:38859-{D31D1A66-2845-4625-9CDA-DAEFC623DEE9} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
