Name: Patagonian Coastal Grassland & Shrubland Macrogroup
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This macrogroup is formed by two types of vegetation: the steppe located in the Valdes Peninsula and the littoral communities covering the dunes. The steppe vegetation is dominated by <i>Chuquiraga avellanedae</i> forming "cushions" 0.5-1.5 m tall and represents an ecotone between the Monte and the Patagonia floristic regions. The steppe alternates with psammophilous grasslands also dominating the coastal dunes and formed by <i>Spartina longispica</i> and <i>Spartina densiflora</i>. <i>Sarcocornia perennis (= Sarcocornia ambigua)</i> and <i>Suaeda divaricata</i> occupy the upper positions of the dunes.
