click to update datacart
Name: Eastern North American Coastal Beach & Rocky Shore Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: The coastal beach vegetation of this macrogroup is variable, depending on the amount of exposure to wave and wind action, but on average vegetation cover is sparse and no species can be considered dominant. Characteristic annual or biennial species more-or-less restricted to beach habitats include <i>Cakile edentula ssp. edentula, Honckenya peploides</i>, or <i>Sesuvium portulacastrum</i>. This macrogroup includes annual-dominated sandy, gravel, or cobble surfaces of upper ocean beaches fronting the ocean or on the sheltered beaches of barrier islands. The tidal regime is characterized by irregular tidal flooding, within the reach of storm tides and extreme lunar tides.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40479-{C9EDEB0A-BF5C-405B-A460-F9D15A8320E0} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
