Descripción:
Coastal grasslands occur on flat, sandy substrates and range from xeric to mesic conditions. They may be found in both subtropical and temperate regions. These systems are shaped by periodic fires, which help maintain their open character.
Vegetation
The vegetation is diverse but generally dominated by grasses, herbs, and shrubs, with or without scattered slash pine ( Pinus elliottii ) and/or cabbage palm ( Sabal palmetto ).
