      <abstract>Iceplant distribution at twenty-four salt marsh sites along the Southern California coast. The following species of iceplant were documented in this survey: Aptenia cordifolia (heartleaf iceplant) Carpobrotus spp. (iceplant) Drosanthemum hispidum (hairy dewflower) Malephora crocea (coppery mesemb) Malephora luteola (Rocky Point iceplant) Mesembryanthemum crystallinum (crystalline iceplant) Mesembryanthemum nodiflorum (slender-leaved iceplant) Sesuvium verrucosum (sea purslane) Tetragonia tetragonioides (New Zealand spinach)</abstract>
      <purpose>This data was created as part of a thesis project conducted by Eric Zahn at CSU Long Beach and is appropriate for localized analysis.</purpose>
