Atlantic upper saltmarshes

Upper zone of Atlantic salt marshes, with fluctuating salinity and often influenced by freshwater seepage from surrounding dunes. This specific setting is reflected by species ranging from obligate halophytes to brackish and freshwater and dry dune indicators. Stands are often small and ephemeral, often embedded in wet grassland or dry dune habitat. They may be relatively species-rich, with many annuals.
