Myrica shrub clusters, 3. Panicum vigatum grassy clumps 4. lichen mats, 5. exposed sand (with Cyperus grayi, Polygonella, Hudsonia and ants.) Slope varies from 1-3 degrees.Dense thicket of shrubs and vines.Patches of Ammophila and bare sand. Ammophila scattered to dense. Dead bases of Ammophila.Panicum virgatum above Toxicodendron radicans and short Myrica with taller Myrica in patches. Phragmites overtops everything. No standing water.Heterogeneity: trees clustered with openings in canopy; S layer uniform, H and N layers concentrated on tree hummocks and Pines are self pruning. Fire evidence: scarred Pinus rigida trunks to 5 ft. tall, multi-trunking of oaks (vs. logging influence). Gypsy moth damage abundant (on Q. velotina).Surface notes: trash = balloon, litter = oak leaves. Soil notes: contains 1-2% pebbles (round, white from glacial moraine). Heterogeneity: canopy of uniform openness; T and S layers uniform. Microhabitats include 1. tree hummocks/tip overs (3x) with most of H and N layer diversity and abundance 2. logs and tree bases with N layer abundant. Fire evidence; scars on trees, multi-trunking of oaks at base. Indicators of past land clearing include Robina and Berberis. Gypsy moth damage to Quercus coccinea and Q. velutina.Many fallen trees and dead trees. Microhabitats are 1. tussocks of sedge 2. vine thickets and 3. bare soil.

Slope degree varies to 4 degrees locally on sand mound to flat. Surface: small rocks are marine washed pebbles of 1-4 cm diameter; wood is driftwood of 3 cm width; litter includes Ammophila leaves, shells (surface clams most abundant), Zostera wrack and skate egg cases; trash includes an old wooden fence with metal wires and 1 plastic bag. Tidal overwash estimated at only a few days per year, mostly only during severe fall and spring storms. Wind influence: grass leaf marks in sand.Heterogenity: zones include 1. typical moist dense shrubland and 2. wetter swale ecotone with more abundent herbs and Vaccinium corymbosum. Difficult plot with dense vines draped from shrub canopy and solidly rooted in ground. Extremely dense thicket.Can walk under canopy of Amelanchier. Dead vines in canopy slightly salt/wind pruned but sheltered somewhat by dune . Plot is near edge of community.Surface notes: litter = grass leaves, trash = overwashed brick, plastic, shoe, wood = overwashed boards (could be called trash). Slope undulates between 0 to 4 degrees. Microhabitats: moist flats (90%), dry rises (10%), with exposed sand and elevated about 10cm above flats. Overwash evidence suggests seasonal flooding either from overwash or from salt marsh in times of storm surges.Surface notes: trash includes 1 old bottle.

No open water pools. Appears dry at surface. WhitNyssa dominated swamp with swales of osmunda. No open water pools. Appears dry at surface. White oak common on upland "islands". Amenlanchier and Vaccinium corymbosum common shrubs in community.Quick transition from Phragmites marsh to Nyssa to oak forest upland. Narrow band <5 m wide (often only single line of trees) along tidal creek. Oak forest goes to very edge (flat) then quickly drops ~1.5m to water. Virtually no characteristic Red Maple-Black Gum Swamp herbs. Phragmites often growing up to and under Nyssa. Some impressively old Nyssa.Community is a patchy mosaic, mostly matrix of Schizachyrium scoparium with patches of Myrica pennsylvanica, Aster spectablilis, Euthamia tenuifolia and a few scattered patches of Panicum virgatum and Sorghastrum nutans (not in plot).Dune processes fairly intact. Fences prevent natural dune movement. Strong on-shore winds from south today.Grasses laying down - wind blown. Scattered Salicornia. Limonium is in patches. Neap tide was day of survey.Hydrology: semidiurnally flooded with saline water (by taste). Heterogeneity: mostly uniform; Distichlis and Spartina patens are clustered near corner. Salt excretion on spartina alterniflora leaves.Deer trail, deer browse. Low hummock and hollow topography with ~5 cm water betweeen hummocks. Deeper water between hummocks ~30 cm.Surface notes: litter = recently dying leaves. heterogeneity: wet flats (90% of plot), water channels (5% of plot), tall shrub hummocks (3%, near shrub swamp edge). Inundation observations: no water marks seen (water levels stable). Ditches possible. Underwater characteristics: salinity = 0 ppt (fresh), turbidity = 7.5 JTU (somewhat turbid), D.O. = 0 ppm (anaerobic), color = moderately intense orange/yellow, depth = 0 - 11 cm, with many 5 - 7 cm deep pockets.Heterogeneity: uniform pool (97%), swale edge (3%)May be partly in old road. Deer trail at edge. Scattered shrubs.Surface notes: litter = shrub leaves. Heterogeneity; microhabitats include 1. Scirpus flats (uniform, 85% of plot, water at surface to 2cm deep), 2. pools (0-7 cm deep, 10% of plot, with abundent Eleocharis), 3. Baccharis-dominated shrub hummocks (with Phragmites, 3% of plot, 10-15 cm elevated above flats). Nearby evidence of salt spray: top-killed shrubs. Probably infrequently tidully overwashed. Other water characteristics: D.O. = 0 ppm (anaerobic), color = very pale yellow, turbidity = 4.75 JTU (slightly turbid).Rest of plot has 2 cm water at surface. Adjacent ot very small coastal salt pond. Pond has 7 - 10 cm water. Edge is in plot adn has Eleocharis submerged with Pluchea emergent and Scirpus americanus.Piping plover nest study area (Erica Sussman, Nat'l Park Svc.). Slope degree varies to 4 degrees locally on sand mound to flat. Surface: small rocks are marine washed pebbles of 1-4 cm diameter; wood is driftwood of 3 cm width; litter includes Ammophila leaves, shells (surface clams most abundant), Zostera wrack and skate egg cases; trash includes an old wooden fence with metal wires and 1 plastic bag. Tidal overwash estimated at only a few days per year, mostly only during severe fall and spring storms. Wind influence: grass leaf marks in sand.Deer browse 1. Prunus clumps, 2. Ammophila, poison ivy climbs on Prunus and grows between. Overwashed in severe stormsHeterogenity: zones include 1. typical moist dense shrubland and 2. wetter swale ecotone with more abundent herbs and Vaccinium corymbosum. Difficult plot with dense vines draped from shrub canopy and solidly rooted in ground.

Randomly chosen among three clusters of Polygonum glaucum (about 500 m sq. area). More diverse end of this spectrum. Overall with more Polygonum glaucum than average (<1% cover) and less Ammophila breviligulata than average (about 10% cover).Good. Random. Area is a mosaic with Ammophila areas and low shrub areas.Representative of wet/typical end of spectrum for patch. Randomly chosen from about 0.1 acre area. Species just out of plot: Ilex verticillata. Fersn more abundant in hollows near plot (Thelypteris palustris, Osmunda regalis, Osmunda cinnamomea)Good for forested variant. Random along this band of community.Randomly chosen from 50x50 m area. Species nearby: Polygonella articulata. Transitional to both maritime freshwater interdunal swale (low salinity) and upland (deep water table). Patch varies from wet to dry microhabitats.Good for this area. Narrow band <10 m. Random within this band.Randomly chosen from a 50x50m area. Species just outside plot: Juniperus virginiana. Good. Varying amounts of Ammophila, Myrica and vines in area.Randomly chosen from small patch about 4-5 times size of plot. Good representation of zones of community. Other patches of occurrence dominated by Cladium (not found here). Wetter zone just east of plot; drier zone just west of plot with Myrica pensylvanica, Hudsonia tomentosa, Carex silicea, Amelanchier canadensis.Good for moist thickets between dunes.Good. Random within small swale. More Phragmites at north end of swale.Carya very low relative to nearby parts of community, especially area just to NE along roadside with old fenceposts. Differences may be related to farming/plowing history.Good. random within area near dirt road. More hickory than other areas. Hickory forest is adjacent.Randomly chosen from about 0.5 acre area. Ecotonal species just out of plot: Rumex acetosella (salt marsh edge), Juncus tenuis (road edge).Good for narrow band. Plot fit in may be too small to map. A few red cedar in adjacent post oak forest but less than 25%. Adjacent former potato farm also has red cedar.Representative of marginal zone of Maritime Dunes. Transitional between Maritime Dunes and Maritime Shrubland. Typical for zone as a Panicum virgatum overstory with moderately dense shrub understory.Good. North edge of community is Phragmites. Typha random alson edge of community.Good. Some areas more or less cover of Ammophila/sand/Solidago. Dominant vegetation type in area graded into heathland (pockets of shrubs and wet swales also occur).Good. Some areas with more Phragmites overtopping other plants. Some areas with less P. virgatum, more shrub/vine. Nearby are moist old vehicle tracks with swale species.Representative of areas with denest Pinus rigida. Whole occurrence is transitional to coastal oak-heath forest, Pinus rigida less abundant in surrounding forest. Species just out of plot: Monotropa uniflora.Randomly chosen from about 0.2 acre area. Representative but probably near coastal oak-hickory forest ecotone. Features just out of plot include species such as Pinus rigida (1% cover), Cypripedium acaule (<<1%), Montropa uniflora (<<1%).Good. Dryer here than south; this is the northern edge.Good. Random. Baccharis up to 10 cm dbh outside plot.Good. Black Pine are scattered on this slope, none in plot. One small patch of Hudsonia below.

Slope undulates between 0 to 4 degrees. Microhabitats: moist flats (90%), dry rises (10%), with exposed sand and elevated about 10cm above flats. Overwash evidence suggests seasonal flooding either from overwash or from salt marsh in times of storm surges.Surface notes: trash includes 1 old bottle. Heterogeneity: vegetative clusters include 1. tall shrub clusters, 2. short shrub clusters on raised mounds with lichens and mosses abundant, 3. flats with mix of vines and Ammophila (10% of plot?), 4. vineland with vines sprawling over dwarf shrubs. Overwash evidence: moon snail shells.Surface notes: litter = grass leaves and wood <1 cm wide. heterogeneity: microhabitats include typical moist flats (70% of plot, no standing water), wet hollow (20% of plot with water and bare soil about 30cm lower elevation than dry end), dry patches (10% of plot, with exposed sand) and a small shrub mound (12% of plot, no evidence of erosion/inundation. Probably intermittently flooded during periods of heavy rain.)Graminoid swale fringed by Aronia and Vaccinium corymbosum. 2m tall. Pahragmites invading. Standing water 0-2cm deep at present.Surface notes; water in tree base (recent rains). Heterogeneity: upper layers uniform, microhabitats include 1. dry Gaylussacia shrub lucsters, 2. downed logs with mosses, 3. Smilax thickets (with reduced deer browse and increased canopy tree regeneration). Processes: deer browse abundent, T3 Nyssa and S1 Viburnum pulled over by Smilax weight. Many dead stems of Viburnum.Surface notes: trash = plastic and styrofoam, bare soil grades to duff, wood = fallen trees, logs and stumps, litter includes mostly Quercus leaves and horseshoe crab shell. Heterogeneity: microhabitats include 1. road edge, 2. tip-up mounds with exposed sand, 3. canopy gaps, 4. tall oak clusters, 5. deer trails with exposed soil/duff. shrub height is variable within S1 and S2 layers. Processes: probably infrequently tidally flooded from strom surges (overwash). Salt spray Stress: abundent dead trees, larger trees farther inland, large limbs and open grown stature on trees. Slope taken from salt marsh edge, backside of plot with 4% slope, 186 degree aspect.Heterogeneity: microhabitats include: 1. Pine shrub clusters 2. Myrica shrub clusters, 3. Panicum vigatum grassy clumps 4. lichen mats, 5. exposed sand (with Cyperus grayi, Polygonella, Hudsonia and ants.) Slope varies from 1-3 degrees.Panicum virgatum above Toxicodendron radicans and short Myrica with taller Myrica in patches. Phragmites overtops everything. No standing water.Heterogeneity: trees clustered with openings in canopy; S layer uniform, H and N layers concentrated on tree hummocks and Pines are self pruning. Fire evidence: scarred Pinus rigida trunks to 5 ft. tall, multi-trunking of oaks (vs. logging influence).

Small salt panne outside plot 5 x 5.Randomly chosen from about 0.5 acre area. Generally representative. Patch varies from pure Spartina alterniflora to ecotone with high salt marsh to ecotone with estuarine variant of maritime beach. Other ares with 100% algae coat.Randomly chosen from about 0.5 acre area. Representative of about 50% of patch, but lacks extremes in associations. Species outside plot in other extremes: Pluchea odorata, Cyperus polystachyos, Spartina patens, abundant Phragmites.Good for this variant. Small patch of Sparitna patens within brackish swale. Other areas have Scirpus americanus dominant. Random.Plot placement biased towards Polygonum glaucum inclusion, thus more representative of foredune and overwash fan areas than lower parts of beach. Randomly chosen among three clusters of Polygonum glaucum (about 500 m sq. area). More diverse end of this spectrum. Overall with more Polygonum glaucum than average (<1% cover) and less Ammophila breviligulata than average (about 10% cover).Good. Random. Area is a mosaic with Ammophila areas and low shrub areas.Representative of wet/typical end of spectrum for patch. Randomly chosen from about 0.1 acre area. Species just out of plot: Ilex verticillata. Fersn more abundant in hollows near plot (Thelypteris palustris, Osmunda regalis, Osmunda cinnamomea)Good for forested variant. Random along this band of community.Randomly chosen from 50x50 m area. Species nearby: Polygonella articulata. Transitional to both maritime freshwater interdunal swale (low salinity) and upland (deep water table). Patch varies from wet to dry microhabitats.Good for this area. Narrow band <10 m. Random within this band.Randomly chosen from a 50x50m area. Species just outside plot: Juniperus virginiana. Good. Varying amounts of Ammophila, Myrica and vines in area.Randomly chosen from small patch about 4-5 times size of plot. Good representation of zones of community. Other patches of occurrence dominated by Cladium (not found here). Wetter zone just east of plot; drier zone just west of plot with Myrica pensylvanica, Hudsonia tomentosa, Carex silicea, Amelanchier canadensis.Good for moist thickets between dunes.Good. Random within small swale. More Phragmites at north end of swale.d zg@ A A(11F@F"BaFIIS.41Smilax glauca - Toxicodendron radicans Vine-ShrublandSmilax glauca - Toxicodendron radicans Vine-ShrublandCEGL003886FIISFire Island Wilderness 4HHowells Point40072680920S004.PSEGeodetic; WGS 1984; Magellan postprocessed differentially corrected;40.69851 N72.96949 WA.
