This book is a vegetative study of the Duck Field Research Facility, a series of offshore sandbars located on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The author's research examines the plant communities that can be found there, grouped by similar floristic composition and distribution, and influenced by a variety of environmental factors. Some communities appear primarily as a result of natural environmental forces that are characteristic of the Outer Banks, while others can be attributed to a long history of disturbance, such as the use of the site as a gunnery range during World War II. The author's meticulous research has led to not only a detailed catalog of the local plant life and its distribution, but also an improved understanding of how plant communities are shaped by forces both natural and manmade.
