Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance includes tidal areas in upper marsh edges and flats dominated by ~Borrichia frutescens$. It occurs at spatial scales ranging from narrow bands to flats in excess of 500 ha; it often occurs either just below ~Iva frutescens$ or ~Baccharis halimifolia$, or just above ~Juncus roemerianus$ or ~Spartina alterniflora$. Other characteristic species include ~Spartina patens, Iva frutescens ssp. frutescens, Iva frutescens ssp. oraria$, and ~Limonium carolinianum$. In Texas, the composition of this low-diversity, irregularly tidally flooded shrubland is variable and can include ~Spartina spartinae, Sporobolus virginicus, Monanthochloe littoralis, Sarcocornia perennis, Limonium carolinianum, Lycium carolinianum var. quadrifidum, Rayjacksonia phyllocephala$, and ~Batis maritima$. Here, these communities often occur just above the lower tidal flat communities ~~Batis maritima - Sarcocornia perennis$ Dwarf-shrubland (CEGL003956)$$ or ~~Sarcocornia perennis - Batis maritima - Distichlis spicata$ Dwarf-shrubland (CEGL002278)$$.
