INTRODUCTION
The New Natural Heritage Program
The New York Natural Heritage Program (NYNHP) is an ongoing, systematic,
scientific inventory of rare plants, rare animals, and rare ecological communities which seeks
to identify the most ecologically sensitive resources of an area. The program is jointly funded
by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) and The
Nature Conservancy and is one of fifty state programs in the United States belonging to the
Heritage Network.
METHODS
The Biological and Conservation Data System
The Biological and Conservation Data System (BCD) was developed by The Nature
Conservancy as a powerful, comprehensive data management tool for identifying, tracking,
protecting and managing biological diversity. With over 275 installations in offices of The
Nature Conservancy, Natural Heritage Programs and cooperating institutions, BCD is among
the world's foremost conservation computer applications. The database design is
comprehensive and elegant with state versions of BCD containing 40 inter-related databases
and the central BCD system containing 75 databases. The New York Natural Heritage
Program populates and maintains data in approximately 15 of the 40 BCD databases and
provides data for several other BCD databases which are maintained by offices of The Nature
Conservancy.
Coarse Filter/Fine Filter Approach
The Nature Conservancy has spent more than two decades developing and refining the
inventory methodology used by the Heritage programs. Heritage inventory focuses on the
identification, documentation, and mapping of all occurrences (element occurrences) of rare
species and rare or significant na. tural communities. A "coarse filter/fine filter" approach is
used to identify and prioritize the protection of these significant biological resources.
Ecological communities represent the "coarse filter". Their identification and documentation
can be used to describe whole assemblages of plant and animal species, both common and
rare. The preservation of good examples of natural communities assures the protection of
most of the species that make up the biological diversity of the state. However, rare animals
and plants often have narrow or unusual habitat requirements and may not be protected in the
representative communities. Identifying and documenting viable populations of each rare
species serves as the "fine filter" for protecting the state's biological diversity. This coarse
filter/fine filter approach to natural resource inventory is an efficient means to identify the
most sensitive natural areas of a region.
Global and State Ranking
NYNHP statewide inventory begins by creating lists of rare species and all types of
ecological communities believed to occur in the state. Lists are based on museum collections,
the scientific literature, information from government agencies, input from knowledgeable
individuals, and data from neighboring sates. Each species and community is then ranked
according to perceived rarity. Heritage ranks rarity at both global and stale levels. The global
rank reflects rarity of the species or community across its entire range, while the sate rank
reflects its rarity within New York Sate. Both ranks are usually based on the number,
abundance, range, and vulnerability of known occurrences, and are revised as new data
become available. Infra specific taxa are also assigned a taxon rank to reflect the Infra specific
taxon's rank throughout its range. The Heritage global and sate ranking criteria are
enumerated in Table 1.
Table 1. Explanation of Heritage Global and State Ranks
Each element has a global and state rank as determined by the New York Natural Heritage
Program. These ranks carry no legal weight. The global rank reflects the rarity of the
element throughout the world and the state rank reflects the rarity within New York Sate.
Infra specific taxa are also assigned a axon rank to reflect the Infra specific taxon's rank
throughout the world.

GLOBAL RANK:
G1 = Critically imperiled globally because of extreme rarity (5 or fewer occurrences), or
very few remaining acres, or miles of stream) or especially vulnerable to extinction
because of some factor of its biology.
Imperiled globally because of rarity (6 - 20 occurrences, or few remaining acres, or
miles of stream) or very vulnerable to extinction throughout its range because of other
factors.
Either rare and local throughout its range (21 to 100 occurrences), or found locally
(even abundantly at some of its locations) in a restricted range (e.g. a physiographic
region), or vulnerable to extinction throughout its range because of other factors.
Apparently secure global~y, though it may be quite rare in parts of its range, especially
at the periphery.
Demonstrably secure globally, though it may be quite rare in parts of its range,
especially at the periphery.
Historically known, with the expectation that it might be rediscovered.
Species believed to be extinct.
Status unknown.
STATE RANK:
S1 = Extremely rare; typically 5 or fewer occurrences, very few remaining individuals,
acres, or miles of stream, or some factor of its biology making it especially vulnerable
in New York.
S2 = Very rare; typically 6 to 20 occurrences, few remaining individuals, acres, or miles of
stream, or factors demonstrably making it very vulnerable in New York.
S3 = Rare to uncommon; typically 21 to 100 occurrences, limited acreage, or miles of
stream in New York. May have fewer occurrences, but with a large number of
individuals in some populations.
S4 = Common, apparently secure in New York State; typically 100 or more estimated
occurrences. May be fewer occurrences with many large populations.
S5 -- Very common, demonstrably secure in New York.
SH = Historically known from New York, but not seen in the past 15 years.
SX = Apparently extirpated from New York.
SA = Accidental or casual in New York.
SE = Exotic, not native to New York.
SN = see SZ.
SP = Element potentially occurs in New York but there are no occurrences reported.
SR = Reported in New York but without persuasive documentation.
SU = Status uncertain, often because of low search effort; uncertainty spans a range of 4 or 5
ranks between S1 through S5. There are three possible ranges: S1-S5, S1-S4 or S2-S5.
SZ (formerly SN) = This rank applies to long-distance migratory animal species which occur
in an irregular, dispersed or transitory manner; not of conservation concern in New York for a
reason other than being exotic or accidental.
B and N QUALIFIERS: Species which are long distance migrants will normally receive two
ranks, one for the breeding season 03) and one for the non-breeding season (N). Example:
S2B,SZN
TAXON (T) RANK: The T-ranks (TI - T5) are defined the same way the Global ranks (Gl -
G5) are but the T-rank only refers to the rarity of the subspecific taxon of the species as a
whole.
T1 - T5 = See Global Rank definitions above.
Q = Indicates a question exists whether or not the taxon is a good taxonomic entity.
? = Indicates a question exists about the rank.

Element Occurrence Ranking
Element occurrences (rare plants, animals and significant natural communities) are also
given quality rankings. These rankings are determined by evaluating the element as it occurs
throughout its range and are based on the factors described in Table 2. Since the element
occurrence rank is a comparative evaluation of the element throughout its range, the best
occurrence of an element in a given state may only have an element occurrence rank of D if,
somewhere else in the range, there are occurrences that merit a higher rank.
Table 2. Element Occurrence Rank~
1) Ouality, the representativeness of the occurrence (maturity, size, numbers, etc.).
2) Condition, how much has the site and the element occurrence itself been damaged or altered
from its optimal condition and character.
3) Viability_, the long-term prospects for continued existence of this occurrence.
4) Defensibility, the extent to which the occurrence can be protected from exUSnsic human'factors
that might otherwise degrade or destroy it.
A -- EXCELLENT
B = GOOD
C = MARGINAL
D = POOR
E = verified EXTANT, but not enough information to rank A-D.
F = FAILED TO FIND. Not found at the site reported from, but not thoroughly
searched fo~:. More searching needed.
X = EXTIRPATED from the site, not located by repeated reasonably intensive field
searches by qualified field person at the right time of year, or habitat is
significantly altered and no longer suitable for maintenance of the element.
I--I= HISTORICAL, no recent field information
? = UNKNOWN
blank= unassigned

State and Federal Status
Rare species are protected in New York though listing by the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). The New York State Protected Plant Law
of 1974 prohibits the collection or destruction of listed protected plants without prior consent
from the landowner. Violations are punishable by a $25.00 fine per stem. A revised list of
endangered, threatened, and exploitably vulnerable plants was adopted through rule-making in
March 1990. Criteria for assigning plants to these lists are listed in Table 3.
Table 3. New York State Protected Plant Status Codes
The following categories are defined in regulation 6NYCRR part 193.3 and apply to New
York State Environmental Conservation Law section 9-1503.
E
Endangered Species: listed species are those with:
1) 5 or fewer extant sites, or
2) fewer than 1,000 individuals, or
3) restricted to fewer than 4 U.S.G.S. 7 x/2 minute topographical maps, or
4) species listed as endangered by U.S. Department of Interior, as enumerated in
Code of Federal Regulations 50 CFR 17.11.
T
Threatened: listed species are those with:
1) 6 to fewer than 20 extant sites, or
2) 1,000 to fewer than 3,000 individuals, or
3) restricted to not less than 4 or more than 7 U.S.G.S. 7 and 1/2 minute
topographical maps, or
4) listed as threatened by U.S. Department of Interior, as enumerated in Code of
Federal Regulations 50 CFR 17.11.
R
Rare: listed species have:
1) 20 to 35 extant sites, or
2) 3,000 to 5,000 individuals statewide.
U = Unprotected (defined in Environmental Conservation Law section 11-0103): the species
may be taken at any time without limit; however a license to take may be required.
V
Exploitably vulnerable: listed species are likely to become threatened in the near future
throughout all or a significant portion of their range within the state if causal factors
continue unchecked. (The attached list does not contain a complete listed of the species
in this category.
blank = No state status assigned.
Animal protection under New York State's Environmental Conservation Law protects
some species by listing them on the New York's Endangered, Threatened, and Special
Concern Species List. Species listed as endangered or threatened are protected against taking,
importation, transportation, possession, or sale. Special concern species usually have no legal
protection unless they fall into those taxa protected by another piece of federal or state
legislation. Criteria for listing animal species in New York are summarized in Table 4.
Table 4. New York State Protected Animal Status Codes
The following categories of are defined in New York State Environmental Conservation Law
section 11-0535. Endangered, Threatened, and Special Concern species are listed in regulation
6NYCRR 182.5.
Endangered Species: any species which meet one of the following criteria:
1) Any native species in imminent danger of extirpation or extinction in New York.
2) Any species listed as endangered by the United States Department of the Interior, as
enumerated in the Code of Fed. Regulations 50 CFR 17.11.
T
Threatened Species: any species which meet one of the following criteria:
I) Any native species likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable
future in NY.
2) Any species listed as threatened by the U.S. Department of the Interior, as
enumerated in the Code of the Federal Regulations 50 CFR 17.11.
SC=
Special Concern Species: those species which are not yet recognized as endangered or
threatened, but for which documented concern exists for their continued welfare in
New York. Unlike the first two categories, species of special concern receive no
additional legal protection under Environmental Conservation Law section 11-0535
(Endangered and Threatened Species).
P = Protected Wildlife (defined in Environmental Conservation Law section 11-0103): wild
game, protected wild birds, and endangered species of wildlife.
U = Unprotected (defined in Environmental Conservation Law section 11-0103): the species
may be taken at any time without limit; however a license to take may be required.
G
Game (defined in Envirom'nental Conservation Law section 11-0103): any of a variety
of big game or small game species as stated in the Environmental Conservation Law;
many normally have an open season for at least part of the year, and are protected at
other times.
blank = No state status assigned.
6
The United States Department of Interior Endangered Species Act protects listed plant
and animal species from import, export and interstate commerce or sale. Criteria for listing
plant and animal species on the federal list are summarized on Table 5.
Table 5. Federal Status Codes
The following categories of federal status are defined by the United States Department of the
Interior as part of the 1974 Endangered Species Act (see Code of Federal Regulations 50 CFR
17). The species listed under this law are enumerated in the Federal Register vol. 50, no. 188,

Heritage Active Inventory List
The New York Natural Heritage Program gathers information through active field
inventory, review of museum records, scientific literature, reports and solicitation of
information from many other sources for all species ranked S1 or S2 by the Heritage Program
(20 or fewer occurrences statewide) or listed as Endangered or Threatened by the New York
State Department of Environmental Conservation. In addition, information is gathered on the
best examples of the more common natural communities, and some of the rarer S3 species (21
to 100 occurrences). Combined, these species and communities constitute the Heritage Active
Inventory List. Information on the occurrence of species and communities on this list is
entered in the computerized Biological and Conservation Data System (BCD) and locations are
mapped on Heritage Program maps and digitized using Arclnfo GIS software.
Peconic Estuary Database Reports and Maps
The data and maps in this report represent species and ecological communities which
are on the Heritage Active Inventory List, have latitude and longitude point coordinates within
the Peconic Estuary study area boundary and are documented in the Biological and
Conservation Data System.
The digitized boundary for the study area was obtained from the Suffolk County
Department of Health and uploaded into the Department of Environmental Conservation
Master Habitat Databank geographic information system (GIS). ArcView2 software was used
to select those element occurrences whose latitude and longitude points are within the Peconic
estuary boundary and to produce four maps illustrating the locations of these element
occurrences.
RESULTS
Elements

ELEMENT OCCURRENCE SPECIFICATIONS:
Any collection in a suitable habitat is an EO. This species
is so hard to observe that rank specs must be guessed at on
the basis of habitat alone in almost all cases.
A-RANK SPECIFICATIONS:
Cedar swamps or wetland complexes that contain at least 500
acres dominated by the foodplant, and adequate nectar
supplies (should be ARONIA or LEIOPHYLLUM in NJ; others
elsewhere).
B-RANK SPECIFICATIONS:
Good quality habitats that cover at least 100 acres, either
contiguously or along water courses with gaps of no more
than 1/4 mile and with scattered patches of cedar in these
gaps.
C-RANK SPECIFICATIONS:
All other sites where persistence seems likely. All isolated
relict EOs can be ranked at least C since these have
deomnstrated an ability to persist over long times--
millenia in many cases.
D-RANK SPECIFICATIONS:
Small patches of foodplant where the species is seen from
time to time. Probably most habitats with under five acres
dominated by the foodplant should be ranked D, especially in
states like NJ where the foodplant is common and some
dispersal occurs.

ELEMENT OCCURRENCE SPECIFICATIONS:
EOTYPE = BREEDING: one or more breeding pairs in suitable
breeding habitat; nesting sites on the same body of water
(e.g., river, reservoir, etc.) and separated by at least 10
km or on different bodies of water and separated by at least
5 km constitute separate EOs. Due to the ephemeral nature of
the breeding habitat, suitability of breeding EOs will
change as the habitat changes due to natural succession or
management. ^EOTYPE = NONBREEDING: sites used regularly by
significant numbers of terns for foraging or roosting;
occurrences separated by gaps of at least 10 km of
unsuitable or unoccupied habitat should be regarded as
separate EOs. ^For A-D RANKSPECS, use the median number of
pairs nesting at the site in recent years (if data are
available from multiple years).

TORREY'S MUHLY
ELEMENT GROUP: VASCULAR PLANTS
GRANK: G3 SPANK: SX
ELEMENT OCCURRENCE SPECIFICATIONS:
Any viable, or potentially viable (i.e., with management)
population is an occurrence. Species is perennial and
reproduces both sexually and asexually, with asexual
reproduction seemingly the more successful stategy.
Production of fertile culms is sporadic and is not
necessarily a reliable measure of vigor and viability. There
is evidence that strongly suggests that fire or other kinds
of disturbance may be a critical factor in stimulating
sexual reproduction. Species is rhizomatus and determining
ramets from genets is difficult unless plants are dug up.
When possible the number of clumps should be counted as well
as noting the number of fertile culms. As a matter of
practicality, rankspecs are based on the number of acres or
square feet of dense turf (assuming all plants placed
side-by-side).
A-RANK SPECIFICATIONS:
Habitat: Pristine or near pristine wetland complexes with no
or minimal hydrological impacts and stable conditions. No or
minimal management necessary to maintain long-term
viability. Occurrence located within a viable fireshed or in
area where natural disturbance has not been disrupted.
Aggressive exotic plant species none or easily controlled.
Surrounding land in sufficient wooded or other compatible
buffer to assure long-term viabilty. Population Size and
Vigor: One acre or more of dense turf and contiguous
habitat. Exemplary Occurrence: Four acres or more.
B-RANK SPECIFICATIONS:
Habitat: Habitat in excellent condition with only minor
impacts or disturban6es, none of which are directly
impacting or degrading habitat. Site may have trails or be
bisected by road. May be adjacent to agricultural or cleared
land, or low density development, but no direct or
significant long term impacts observable or anticipated.
Exotics present but not significantly impacting habitat. All
impacts can be mitigated (including burning site) with
minimal effort and expense. Reasonable amount of wooded or
other buffer present to insure long-term viability.
Population Size and Vigor: 0.25 acre or more of dense turf.
C-RANK SPECIFICATIONS:
Habitat significantly disturbed and fragmented, often with
declining conditions, but reversable with management.
Portions of habitat occupied by element ditched, dammed or
cleared (including powerline, railroad, and road
right-of-ways). Remaining buffer less than optimal.
Occurrence recoverable with significant effort or expense.
Population Size and Vigor: 10 sq. yd. or more of dense turf.
D-RANK SPECIFICATIONS:
Heavily, and possibly irreversibly, disturbed or altered.
Impacts significant, ongoing, and directly impacting
population. Little or no remaining buffer. Population with
little or no potential for recovery, at least not without an
extraordinary expenditure of time and money. Population Size
and Vigor: Any population regardless of size or numbers.
Occurrences of less than 1 sq. yd. in A, B, or C ranked
habitats.

no more than a few pebbles & shells.
GLOBAL HABITAT DESCRIPTION
Sandy beaches, especially where scattered grass tufts are present, sparsely
vegetated shores and islands of shallow Lakes, ponds, rivers, and
impoundments, in migration and winter also mudf[ats, flooded fields, dredge
spoils. In winter, usually on ocean beaches or on sand or algal flats in
protected bays IHaig 1992). Most abundant in winter in sites generally
consisting of expansive sandf[ats, or sandy mudflats, and sandy beach in
close proximity; usually in areas with high habitat heterogeneity (see
Nichols and Daldasarre [1990] for further information on winter habitat
associations in the southeastern U.S.). Among winter birds, 51% use ocean
beaches, 43% use sand or algal flats in protected bays, and 6% use areas
where protected bays meet ocean beaches (Haig and P[issner 1993). ~greeds
mainly on sandy coastal beaches along Atlantic seaboard. In the Great Lakes
region, breeds on sand and gravel shorelines, and behind foredune among
cobble and sparse vegetation on islands (PoweLL and Cuthbert 1992). In the
Great Plains, nests on sand, gravel, and alkaline shores or bars of rivers
and lakes. Of Great Plains breeders, 60% use shorelines around small alkaline
lakes, 18% use large reservoir beaches, 20% use river is[ands and adjacent
sand pits, 2% use beaches on large lakes, and 0.4% use industrial pond
shorelines (Raig and Plissner 1993). Nests on ground on high part of sandy
shore, also on other exposed shore or on dredge spoils, in areas with sparse
vegetation. Nears in or adjacent to least tern colonies in a number of sites
in the Great Plains and along the Atlantic coast. In Nova Scotia, may nest
within colonies of arctic and co.on terns, in Minnesota, has nested in
con[non tern colonies. Commonly nests in association with American avocets in
North Dakota. ^Often returns to the same nesting area in consecutive years
(but few return to natal sites). Sometimes shifts breeding Location by up to
several hundred kilometers between consecutive years. Previous reproductive
success apparently does not increase the probebi[ity of returning to specific
breeding sites (see USFWS 1994). in Manitoba, adults that experienced nest
failure the previous year usually changed general nesting Location (Haig and
Oring 1988). in North Dakota, nesting success was greatest on territories
with Little vegetative cover and territories with highly clumped vegetation
(Gaines and Ryan 1988). On Assateague Island, Maryland and Virginia, f[edging
success was higher for broods foraging at bay flats or tidal pools than for

clay in some dredge spoil sites s~etimes promote "egg sticking" which occurs
sufficient sand to stimulate terns to select the site for nesting, but the
finer texture of the silt particles reduces drainage (Thompson and Slack
1982). Furthermore, dredge Spoil sites are short-lived and typically undergo
rapid succession (Burger 1984). ^Interior populations nest mainly on riverine
sandbars or salt fiats that become exposed during periods of Low water (Hardy
1957). AS a result of vegetational succession and/or erosion, preferred
nesting habitat typically is ephemeral. Hardy (1957) implied that breeding in
riverine situations depends on the presence of sandbars, favorable water
at higher elevations and away from the water. Water levels determine the size
of sand bars and the extent of nesting areas (USFWB 1990). Dams above
colonies generally lower habitat quality by eliminating the spring floods
that are necessary for alluvium deposition and the scouring of vegetation.
Ducey (1982) reported successful breeding at two privately-owned sand and
gravel companies along the Platte River in Nebraska. As old breeding sites
more recently created sand deposits. Populations in Kansas have nested on oil
well sites (Schulenberg and Ptacek 1984). ^Since least terns always nest near
In coastal Texas, Thompson and SLack (1982) documented that the densest

APPENDIX 6. Natural Community Descriptions for Significant Natural
Communities in the Peconic Estuary Watershed
Descriptions of all communities in this report are taken directly from ~cg.l.9.gi.c~
Communities of New York State by Carol Reschke. Because the descriptions include species
found in each community as it occurs throughout the entire state, the species listed for any
particular community may include species not present the Peconic Estuary. Communities are
not provided legal protection in New York State. The ranks given under the Status heading in
this section are Heritage ranks, as described in the Methodology section of this report.
The species lists provided for the rare or exemplary communities are divided into trees,
shrubs, herbs, mosses, moths, butterflies, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. Species
are listed alphabetically within each category. Plants are listed by scientific name, and animals
by common name. The animals listed are characteristic of the associated community, and do
not include the full array of species one would expect to find.
Brackish intertidal shore: a community of the intertidal gravelly or rocky shores of brackish
tidal rivers and creeks where water salinity ranges from 0.5 to 18.0 ppt. This community is
usually sparsely vegetated. More data on this community are needed.
Distribution: along the seacoast of Long Island in the Coastal Lowlands ecozone, and along the
Hudson River from New York City to Poughkeepsie in the Triassic Lowlands and Hudson
Valley ecozones.
Rank: G3G4 S1S2
Example: Hands Creek, Suffolk County.
Source: NHP field surveys.
Brackish tidal marsh: a marsh community that occurs where water salinity ranges from 0.5
to 18.0 ppt, and water is less than 6 ft (2 m) deep at high tide. This community consists of a
mixture of salt marsh and freshwater tidal marsh species, with no species attaining dominance
over extensive areas (although some species are locally abundant in patches). The vegetation
in a brackish tidal marsh is dense and dominated by tall graminoids. Characteristic plants are
narrowleaf cattail (Typha angustifolia), arrowleaf (Peltandra virginica), pickerel-weed (Ponte-
deria cordata), water smartweed (Polygonum punctatum), reedgrass (Phragmires australis),
marsh fern (Thelypteris palustris), wild r/ce (Zizania aquatica), soft-stem bulrush (Scirpus
tabernaemontaniO, river bulrush (S. fluviatilis)i dwarf spikerush (Eleocharis parvula),
arrowhead (Sagittaria latifolia), lilaeopsis (Lilaeopsis chinensis), rose-mallow (Hibiscus
moscheutos), yellow iris (Iris pseudacorus) and saltmarsh fleabane (Pluchea odorata). Purple
loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) is a common weed in brackish marshes. Characteristic birds
inlcude red-winged blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceux), swamp sparrow (Melospiza georgiana),
marsh wren (Cistothort~' palustris), yellow warbler (Dendroica petechia), common
yellowthroat (Geothlypis trichax), song sparrow (Melospiza melodia), Virginia rail (Rallus
limicola), American goldfinch ( Carduelis tristis), and eastern kingbird (Tyrannus tyrannus).
Brackish marshes are best developed on large river systems characterized by gentle slope
gradients coupled with tidal influence over considerable distances. The downstream limits of
the community begin where cordgrass (Spartina altern~flora) no longer dominates tidal creek
or river banks, and the upstream limits extend to where the green seaweed Enteromorpha
intestinalis can no longer be found. Brackish tidal marshes can be distinguished from
freshwater tidal marshes by the lack of species restricted to freshwater, such as spatterdock
(Nuphar luteum ssp. macrophyllum), sweetflag (Acorus americanux), and blue flag (Iris
versicolor), and a decrease in cover of sedges (Carex spp. and Cyperus spp.).
Distribution: along the seacoast of the Coastal Lowlands ecozone, and along the Hudson River
from New York City to Newburgh in the Triassic Lowlands and Hudson Valley ecozones.

Coastal plain Atlantic white cedar swamp: a conifer or mixed swamp that occurs on
organic soils along streams and in poorly drained depressions of the coastal plain of New
England, Long Island, New Jersey, and southward. Atlantic white cedar (Chamaecyparis
thyoides) makes up over 50% of the canopy cover. In mixed stands in New York, red maple
(Acer rubrum) is the codominant tree. Characteristic shrubs are sweet pepperbush (Clethra
alnifolia), winterberry (Ilex glabra), bayberry (Myrica ?ensylvanica), and swamp azalea
(Rhododendron viscosum). The groundlayer dominants are several species of Sphagnum moss.
Characteristic herbs, typically found in sunny openings in the swamp, include cinnamon fern
(Osmunda cinnamomea), marsh fern (Thelypteris palus~ris), wintergreen (Gaultheria
l)rocumbens), sundew (Drosera inrermedia), pitcher plan[ (Sarracenia purpurea), and sedges
such as Carex walteriana. Massachusetts fern (Thelypteris simulata) and two sedges (Carex
atlantica and C. collinsii) are characteristic of these swamps in New England; these species
occur in New York but they have not recently been reported from New York Chamaecyparis
swamps. A characteristic butterfly is Hessel's hairstreak (Mitoura hesseli). More data on
characteristic animals are needed.
Distribution: restricted to the Coastal Lowlands ecozone.

Coastal plain pond: the aquatic community of the permanently flooded portion of a coastal
plain pond with seasonally and annually fluctuating water levels. These are shallow,
groundwater-fed ponds that occur in kettle-holes or shallow depressions in the outwash plains
south of the terminal moraines of Long Island and New England. Aquatic vegetation may be
abundant; characteristic plants include water-shield (Braxenia schreberi), white water-lily
(Nymphaea odorata), bayonet-rush (Juncus militaris), spikerush (Eleocharis robbinsii), purple
bladderwort (Utricularia purpurea), water milfoil (Myriophyllum humile), naiad (Najas
flexilis), waterweed (Elodea spp.), pondweed (Potamogeton oakesianu$), and a peat moss
(Sphagnum macrophyllum). Characteristic fishes include chain pickerel (Esox niger) and
banded sunfish (Enneacanthu$ obesux). Coastal plain ponds are breeding ponds for tiger
salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum). A series of coastal plain ponds are often hydrologically
connected, either by groundwater, or sometimes by surface flow in a small coastal plain
stream. More data on this community are needed.
Distribution: in the Coastal Lowlands ecozone on Long Island.
Rank: G3G4 S2
Examples: Crooked Pond, Suffolk County; Scoy's Pond, Suffolk County.
Sources: Muenscher 1939; Theai1 1983; NHP field surveys.
Coastal plain pond shore: the gently sloping shore of a coastal plain pond with seasonally
and anually fluctuating water levels. The substrate is sandy, gravelly, or mucky. Vegetative
cover varies with the water levels. In dry years when water levels are low and the substrate is
exposed, there is a dense growth of annual sedges and grasses. In wet years when the water
level is high and the substrate is flooded, vegetation is sparse, and only a few emergents and
floating-leaved aquatics are apparent. The vegetation of this pond shore community can
change dramatically from one year to the next depending on fluctuations in groundwater
levels. Characteristic species include pipewort (Eriocaulon aquaticum), sedge (Carex
walteriana), horned rush (Rhynchospora macrostachya), bald-rush (Psilocarya scirpoides),
nutrush (Scleria reticularis), panic grasses (Panicum acuminatum, P. verrucosum), sundews
(Drosera intermedia, D. fil~flormis), Canadian St. John's-wort (Hypericum canadenxe),
bladderworts (Utricularia juncea, U..fibrosa), gratiola (Gratiola aurea), ludwigia (Ludwigia
sphaerocarpa), rose coreopsis (Coreopsis rosea), and large yellow-eyed grass (Xyris
smalliana). Data on characteristic animals are needed.

Coastal plain poor fen: a weakly minerotrophic peat/and that occurs on the coastal plain, in
which the substrate is peat composed primarily of Sphagnum, with admixtures of graminoid
and woody peat. The dominant species are Sphagnum mosses, with scattered sedges, shrubs,
and stunted trees. Poor fens are fed by waters that are weakly mineralized, with low pH
values, generally between 4.0 and 5.5 (Andrus I980). Characteristic mosses include
Sphagnum bartlettianum, S. fal[ax, S. flavicomans, S. magellanicum, S. recurvum, S.
1)apillosum, S. torreyanum, and S. henryense. Characteristic herbs and shrubs include twig-
rush ( Cladium mariscoides), sedge ( Carex exilis), beakrushes (Rhynchospora alba, R. fusca),
rushes (Juncus spp.), knotted spikerush (Eleocharis equisetoides), swamp loosestrife
(Lysimachia terrestris), fibrous bladderwort (Utricularia fibrosa), rose pogonia (Pogonia

Coastal salt pond: a community inhabiting marine shoreline lakes or ponds formed by
sandspits that close off a lagoon or bay. The water is brackish or slightly brackish.
Occasionally the barrier beach is broken by hurricanes and the pond becomes saline until the
sandspit closes the pond again. Some ponds have permanent (natural or artificial) inlets.
Characteristic species are dwarf spikerush (Eleocharis parvula), switohgrass (Panicum
virgatum), salt-meadow grass (Spartina patens), reedgrass (Phragmites auxtralis), saltmarsh
fleabane (Pluchea odorata), three-square (Scirpus americanus), rose-mallow (Hibiscus
moscheutos), pigweeds (Chenopodium spp.) and mock bishop's-weed (Ptilimnium
capillaceum).
Distribution: along the seacoast in the Coastal Lowlands ecozone.
Rank: G4 S1S2
Examples: Oyster Pond, Suffolk County; Island Pond, Fisher's Island, Suffolk County.

High salt marsh: a coastal marsh community that occurs in sheltered areas of the seacoast, in
a zone extending from mean high tide up to the limit of spring tides. It is periodically flooded
by spring tides and flood tides. High salt marsh typically consists of a mosaic of patches that
are mostly dominated by a single graminoid species. The dominant species in many large
areas are either salt-meadow grass (Spartina patens) or a dwarf form (6 to 12 in. tall) of
cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora); also common are large areas dominated by spikegrass
(Distichlis spicata), black-grass (Juncus gerardi), or a mixture of salt-meadow grass and
cordgrass. Characteristic species of the upper slope of the high marsh (the area that grades
into salt shrub) are black-grass, switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), sea-lavender (Limonium
carolinianum), and slender saltmarsh aster (Aster tenuifolius). Characteristic animals include
salt marsh mosquitoes (Aeries spp.), greenhead flies (Tabanidae), coffeebean snail (Melampus
bidentatus), sharp-tailed sparrow (Ammodramus caudacutus), marsh wren ( Cistothorus
palustris), eastern meadowlark (Sturnella magna), clapper rail (Rallus longirostris), and
American black duck (Anas rub?ipes).
High salt marsh is one zone within a coastal salt marsh ecosystem; it occurs in a complex
mosaic with several other communities. Other communities in a salt marsh ecosystem include
salt shrub at the upland border of the high marsh; low salt marsh at the seaward border of the
high marsh and along the edges of tidal creeks that drain the high marsh; and salt pannes in
shallow depressions within the marsh.
Distribution: in sheltered areas of the seacoast in the Coastal Lowlands and Manhattan Hills
ecozones.
Rank: G4 S3S4
Examples: Hubbard Creek Marsh, Suffolk County; Northwest Harbor, Suffolk County.
Sources: Clark 1985; Clark 1986a; Conard i935; Nixon i982; Redfield 1972; NHP field

Low salt marsh: a coastal marsh community that occurs in sheltered areas of the seacoast, in
a zone extending from mean high tide down to mean sea level or to about 6 ft (2 m) below
mean high tide. It is regularly flooded by semidiurnal tides. The vegetation of the Iow salt
marsh is a nearly monospecific stand of cordgrass (Spartina alternifiora), a coarse grass that
grows up to about 10 ft (3 m) tall. A few species of marine algae can form dense mats on the
surface sediments between the cordgrass stems, including knotted wrack (Ascophyllum
nodosum) and rockweed (Fucux vesiculosux); sea lettuce (Ulva spp.) and green algae in the
genus Enteromorpha can be abundant, especially in early summer. Other plants that are
present in very iow numbers include glasswort (Salicornia europaea), salt marsh sand-spurry
(Spergularia marina), and lesser sea b!ite (Suaeda maritima). Characteristic animals include
clapper rail (Rallux longirostris), willet (Catoptrophorus semipalmatux), marsh wren
( Cistothorus paluxtris), seaside sparrow (Ammodramus maritimus), fiddler crabs (Uca
pugilator and U. pugnax) nesting along creek banks, and at high tide mummichog (Fundulus
heteroclitus) and several other small fishes that live in the tidal creeks at low tide.
The Iow salt marsh is one zone within a coastal salt marsh ecosystem; it occurs in a mosaic
with several other communities. Low salt marsh grades into high salt marsh at slightly higher
elevations, and it grades into intertidal mudflats at slightly lower elevations. Tidal creeks that
drain the salt marsh flow in a sinuous pattern through the marsh, and a narrow band of low
marsh lines the banks of the tidal creeks. Shallow depressions or pannes may also occur in the
low marsh.
Distribution: in sheltered areas of the seacoast in the Coastal Lowlands and Manhattan Hills
ecozones.

Marithne grassland: a grassland community that occurs on rolling outwash plains of the
glaciated portion of the Atlantic coastal plain, near the ocean and within the influence of
offshore winds and salt spray. This community is dominated by grasses that usually form a
turf; the grasses collectively ha[,e greater than 50% cover. Low heath shrubs may be present,
with less than 50% cover. The dominant grasses are little bluestem (Schizachyrium
scoparium), common hairgrass (Deschampsiaflexuosa), and poverty-grass (Danthonia
spicata). Other characteristic species include Pennsylvania sedge (Carex pensylvanica), rush
(Juncus greenei), Indian grass (Sorghaxtrum nutanx), Atlantic golden aster (Pityopsis falcata),
bushy rockrose (Helianthemum dumosum), hoary frostweed (H. propinquum), flat-top
goldenrod (Euthamia graminifolia), white-topped aster (Asterpaternux), pussy's-toes
(Antennaria plantagini~)lia), bitter milkwort ( Polygala polygama), bayberry (Myrica
penxylvanica), shining sumac (Rhus copallinum), and northern dewberry (Rubuxflagellaris).
A characteristic lichen is Cladina rangiferina.

Marithne heathland: a dwarf shrubland cotnmunity that occurs on rolling outwash plains and
moraine of the glaciated portion of the Atlantic coastal plain, near the ocean and within the
influence of offshore winds and salt spray. This community is dominated by low heath or
heath-tike shrubs that collectively have greater than 50% cover. Characteristic shrubs include
bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi), beach heather (Hudsonia tomemosa), blueberry
(Vaccinium angustifolium), black huckle-berry (Gaylussacia baccata), bayberry (Myrica
pen~ylvanica), and beach-plum (Prunus maritima). Grasses and forbs are present, but they do
not form a turf; characteristic species include common hairgrass (DeschamtJsiaflexuosa), little
bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium), Pennsylvania sedge (Carex per~ylvancica), rush (Juncux
greenei), asters (Aster dumosum, A. linariifolius, A. solidagineus), bushy rockrose
(Heliamhemum dumosum), and New England blazing star (Liatris scariosa var. novae-
angliae). A characteristic bird in winter is yellow-rumped warbler (Dendroica coronata).
This community intergrades with maritime grassland, and the two communities may occur
together in a mosaic.

Sources: Zaremba 1989; NHP field surveys.
Marithne interdunal swales: a mosaic of wetlands that occur in iow areas between dunes
along the Atlantic coast; the low areas or swales are formed either by blowouts in the dunes
that lower the soil surface to groundwater level, or by the seaward extension of dune fields.
Soils are either sand or peaty sand; water levels fluctuate seasonally and annually, reflecting
changes in groundwater levels. The dominant species are sedges and herbs; low shrubs are
usually present, but they are never dominant. These wetlands may be quite small (less than
0.25 acre or 0.1 ha); species diversity is usually low. The composition may be quite variable
between different interdunal swales. Characteristic species include twig-rush (Cladium
mariscoides), cyperus (Cyperus s. pp.), beakrush (Rhynchospora capirellata), marsh rush
(Juncus canadensis), round-leaf sundew (Drosera rotundifolia), threadleaf sundew (D.
filiformis), cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon), stiff yellow flax (Linum striatum),
bladderwort (Utricularia subulara), slender yellow-eyed grass (Xyris torta), bayberry (Myrica
peracylvanica), and highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum). Data on characteristic
animals are needed.

Marithne oak-holly forest: a hardwood forest that occurs in Iow areas on the back portions
of maritime dunes; the dunes protect these areas from overwash and salt spray. In New York
State this forest is best developed on the narrow peninsulas of eastern Long Island and on the
barrier islands off the south shore. The trees are usually stunted and flat-topped because the
canopies are pruned by salt spray; the canopy of a mature stand may be only 16 to 23 ft (5 to 7
m) tall. The dominant trees are either holly (Ilex opaca), black oak (Quercus velutina), or
beech (Fagu$ grandifolia). Other characteristic trees include sassafras (Sassafras albidum),
shadbush (Amelanchier canadensis), and post oak (Quercus stellata). Vines such as Virginia
creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), and greenbrier
(Smilax rotundifolia), sawbrier (S. glauca), and grape (Vitis spp.) are common in the
understory, and they often grow up into the canopy. Shrubs such as highbush blueberry
(Vaccinium corymbosum) and black huckleberry (Gayluzsacia baccata) are common in the
understory, especially at the marginsof the forest. Characteristic groundlayer herbs include
wild sarsaparilla (Aralia nudicaulis), starflower (Smilacina stellata), and Canada mayflower
(Maianthemurn canadense). There may be small, damp depressions that are somewhat boggy;
species found in these depressions include black gum (Nyssa sylvatica), shadbush, highbush
blueberry, and chokeberry (Aronia metanocarpa). More data on characteristic animals are
needed.
Distribution: only known from the Coastal Lowlands ecozone.
Rank: G2G3 S1
Example: Sunken Forest, Fire Island National Seashore, Suffolk County.
Sources: Art 1976; Greller I977; NHP field surveys.
Maritime red cedar forest: a conifer forest that occurs on dry sites near the ocean. Eastern
red cedar (Juniperus virginiana) is the dominant tree, often forming nearly pure stands. A
characteristic groundlayer plant is eastern prickly pear (Opumia humifusa). More data on this
community are needed.
Distribution: only known from the Coastal Lowlands ecozone.
Rank: G3G4 S1
Example: Orient Point, Suffolk County.
Sources: Conard 1935; Greller i977; Robichaud and Buell 1983; NHP field surveys.
Pine barrens shrub swamp: a shrub-dominated wetland that occurs in shallow depressions in
the coastal plain, often as a transition zone between a coastal plain pond shore and either pitch
pine-scrub oak barrens or pitch pine-oak forest. Characteristic species include leatherleaf
(Chamaedaphne calyculata), highbush blueberry (Vaccinium coryrnbosum), sweet pepper-bush
( Clethra alnifolia), male-berry (Lyonia ligustrina), fetterbush (Leucothoe racemosa),
buttonbush (Cephalanthu$ occidentalis), and winterberry (Ilex glabra). Virginia chain fern
(Anchistea virginica) and Sphagnum are common in the groundlayer. More data on this
community are needed.
Distribution: only reported from the Coastal Lowlands ecozone.
Rank: G5 S3
Example: Jones Pond, Suffolk County.
Source: NHP field surveys.
Pitch pine-oak-heath woodland: a pine barrens community that occurs on weil-dralned,
infertile, sandy soils in eastern Long Island (and possibly on sandy or rocky soils in upstate
New York). The structure of this community is intermediate between a shrub-savanna and a
woodland. Pitch pine (Pinus rigida) and white oak (Quercus alba) are the most abundant
trees, and these form an open canopy with 30 to 60% cover. Scarlet oak (Quercus coccinea)
and black oak (Q. velutina) may also occur in the canopy. The shrublayer is dominated by
scrub oaks (Quercus ilicifolia, Q. prinoides), and includes a few heath shrubs such as
huckleberry (Gaylussacia baccata) and blueberry (Vaccinium palIidum). The density of the
shrublayer is inversely related to the tree canopy cover; where the trees are sparse, the shrubs
form a dense thicket, and where the trees form a more closed canopy, the shrublayer may be
relatively sparse. Stunted, multiple-stemmed white oaks may be present in the shrublayer if
the site has burned regularly. Characteristic species of the groundcover include bearberry
(Arctostaphylos uva-ursi), Pennsylvania sedge ( Carex penxylvanica), golden heather (Hudsonia
ericoides), beach heather (Hudsonia tomentosa), and pinweed (Lechea villosa). Like other
closely related pine barrens communities, the woodland provides habitat for buck moth
(Hemileuca maia) and prairie warbler (Dendroica discolor).
This community is adapted to periodic fires; the fire frequency has not been documented,
but it probably burns less frequently than pitch pine-scrub oak barrens (i.e. more than I5 years
between fires). This community may have a fairly low species richness: it is more diverse
than dwarf pine plains, but less diverse than pitch pine-scrub oak barrens.
Distribution: currently known only from the Coastal Lowlands ecozone.
Rank: G3G4 S2S3
Examples: Rocky Point Pine Barrens, Suffolk County; Dwarf Pine Barrens, Suffolk County.
Source: NHP field surveys.
Salt panne: a shallow depression in a salt marsh where the marsh is poorly drained. Pannes
occur in both low and high salt marshes. Pannes in low salt marshes usually lack vegetation,
and the substrate is a soft, silty mud. Pannes in a high salt marsh are irregularly flooded by
spring tides or flood tides, but the water does not drain into tidal creeks. After a panne has
been flooded the standing water evaporates and salinity of the soil water is raised well above
the salinity of sea-water. Soil water salinities fluctuate in response to tidal flooding and
rainfall. Small pond holes occur in some pannes; the pond holes are usually deeper than the
thickness of the living salt marsh turf, and the banks or "walls" of the pond holes are either
vertical or they undercut the peat. Characteristic plants of a salt panne include the dwarf form
(6 to 12 in. tall) of cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora), glassworts (Salicornia europaea and S.
virginica), marsh fleabane (Plurhea odorata), salt marsh plantain (Plantago maritima ssp.
juncoides), arrow-grass (Triglochin maritimum), and salt marsh sand spurry (Spergularia
marina). Widgeon-grass (Ruppia maritima) grows in the pond holes; fishes that may be
permanent residents in large pond holes include mummichog (Fundulux heteroclitux) and
sheepshead minnow ( Cyprinodon variegatux).
Distribution: in salt marshes along the seacoast of the Coastal Lowlands ecozone.
