Where the saline tidal forest has a transition with brackish water tidal forest, on estuaries and deltas, the Bruguiera forest may merge into a <i>Barringtonia racemosa - Heritiera littoralis</i> association. Many other arborescent species occur on the fringes of this association, in a transition to freshwater swamp and riverine forests, including <i>Ficus trichopoda, Garcinia livingstonei, Voacanga thouarsii, Annona senegalensis, Aporrhiza nitida, Casearia gladitformis, Cassine aethiopica, Cordyla africana, Deinbollia xanthocarpa, Diospyros mespiliformis, Ehretia amoena, Phoenix reclinata, Strychnos spinosa</i>, and <i>Vitex doniana</i>. <i>Artabotrys monteiroae</i> and <i>Entada pursaetha</i> are woody climbers. |

This sparsely vegetated association is common in the Colorado Plateau of northern Arizona and southern and eastern Utah. The vegetation has a sparse canopy consisting of <i>Zuckia brandegeei</i> with scattered <i>Atriplex confertifolia</i> and <i>Gutierrezia microcephala</i>. The herbaceous layer is low in diversity and provides sparse cover. The bunchgrasses <i>Leymus salinus</i> and <i>Pleuraphis jamesii</i> are present. Forbs include <i>Platyschkuhria integrifolia</i> and <i>Xylorhiza venusta</i>. Stands are found on plateaus, plains, alluvial fans, steep colluvial and badlands slopes or shale hogbacks. It is also found on eroding shales of the high plateaus of southern Utah. Elevation ranges from 1341-2078 m (4397-6815 feet). The soil is rapidly drained clay loam derived from shales such as the Salt Wash Member of the Morrison Formation or Chinle, Moenkopi, Tropic Shale and Curtis formations. The unvegetated surface typically has high cover of shale chips, sandstone rocks, basalt gravel, conglomerate or petrified wood forming a desert pavement surface. Exposure of bare soil is low. |

This sparsely vegetated association is common on plateaus at Petrified Forest National Park but occurs elsewhere in the Colorado Plateau of northern Arizona and eastern Utah. In Arizona, it is found on plateaus, plains, alluvial fans, steep colluvial and badlands slopes or shale hogbacks. It is also found on eroding shales of the high plateaus of southern Utah. Elevation ranges from 1341-2078 m (4397-6815 feet).

This group consists of marine near-shore beds dominated by macrophytic algae and marine aquatic angiosperms. They are found throughout intertidal zones with clear water in bays, inlets and lagoons in the coastal areas of the North Pacific Coast, from California north through Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and north into the Gulf of Alaska, Cook Inlet, and Bristol Bay coasts. Subtidal portions are never exposed, while intertidal areas support species that can tolerate exposure to the air. Common substrates include marine silts, but may also include exposed bedrock and cobble, where many algal species become attached with holdfasts. Stands occur in the subtidal/lower intertidal where the water is clear most of the time to allow for photosynthesis. Substrate is usually marine silts but may be cobble. Beds are dominated by <i>Zostera marina, Phyllospadix scouleri, Fucus distichus, Postelsia palmiformis</i>, and a host of green and brown algae. Adjacent subtidal zones, where rocky substrates are common, support undersea kelp "forest." |

This macrogroup encompasses submersed herbaceous vegetation which occurs in the world's temperate coastal waters. <i>Zostera marina</i> is dominant and occurs in nearly pure stands, which are rooted in the substrate in shallow brackish to oligohaline waters. The depth of the beds is determined by low tide level at the upper end and light penetration at the lower end, the latter being a function of water depth and turbidity. This vegetation is threatened by eutrophication, turbidity, and dredging. |

This alliance includes subtidal aquatic beds characterized by Zostera marina. These communities usually occur in quiet waters below the lowest tide level and where fluctuations in salinity are minor. Substrate ranges from soft mud to coarse sand. Light availability is the primary limiting factor in occurrences of this alliance, within the geographic, temperature, and salinity range (10-30 ppt) of Zostera marina. The long leaves of Zostera marina provide substrate for epiphytic organisms such as macroalgae, bay scallops, and other marine invertebrates, as well as nursery and/or adult habitat for fin fish. Characteristic associate nonvascular plants (algae) include Ulva lactuca, Enteromorpha spp., and Polysiphonia spp. |
