Name: A.1249
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance includes grasslands occurring over heavy soils on flats within the Trans-Pecos, southwestern Rolling Plains, and northwestern Edwards Plateau of Texas. These grasslands sometimes occupy sites that receive excess run-off from the surrounding landscape and hence represent small, internally drained basin bottoms. ~Prosopis glandulosa$ may be scattered throughout. Other species include ~Buchloe dactyloides, Panicum obtusum, Digitaria californica, Bouteloua$ spp., ~Tridens$ spp., ~Scleropogon brevifolius$, and ~Sporobolus$ spp. These grasslands occur within a matrix of desert shrublands and mixed grasslands. Saline-influenced areas grade into ~Sporobolus airoides$-dominated grassland.
