20. ABSTRACT (Continue an raveraa aide It necessary and Identify by block number) 



A vegetative study of the Duck Field Research Facility of the U.S. Army 

 Coastal Engineering Research Center, at Duck, North Carolina, was conducted 

 from March 1974 through June 1975. A vegetation map of this area was pre- 

 pared using aerial infrared photographs and ground-truth surveys. Eleven 

 different plant communities were delimited. Adequate stratified random 

 sampling of these communities produced frequency and biomass data for 10 of 

 the communities and frequency and density data for the eleventh community.
