Name: Atlantic Coast & La Plata Delta Beach & Dune Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: Psammophilous plant communities of coastal dunes extending a few kilometers inland and along the littoral of Rio de la Plata and the maritime coasts of Argentina and Uruguay. These are littoral sands carried inland by the wind and then colonized by vegetation. Given this dynamic, there are four stages of dune formation until it is stabilized by vegetation cover. Here the dunes closer to the ocean are colonized by <i>Spartina coarctata</i> and <i>Panicum racemosum</i>. <i>Androtrichum trigynum</i> and <i>Tessaria absinthioides</i> are typical of the wet interdune depressions, while the grassland association of <i>Poa lanuginosa</i> and <i>Adesmia incana</i> is indicative of a completely stabilized dune. In Uruguay, where there is a well-developed system of coastal lagoons behind the dunes, the shores have a layer of woody plants dominated by <i>Rapanea laetevirens, Lithraea brasiliensis, Colletia paradoxa, Ephedra twediana</i>, and <i>Scutia buxifolia</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40985-{18F941B0-8E59-4A43-9056-C0099B5FACAA} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
