Name: Quercus intricata Shrubland Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This alliance includes shrublands dominated by Quercus intricata, occurring on rocky slopes at middle to high elevations (4500-6500 feet, 1370-1980 m) in the Chisos Mountains of west Texas and in the chaparral of northern Mexico. Associated shrubs can include Salvia regla, Salvia lycioides, Salvia roemeriana, Rhus trilobata, Rhus virens var. virens, Ptelea trifoliata ssp. pallida var. confinis, Gymnosperma glutinosum, and Garrya ovata, as well as large succulents and semi-succulents such as Nolina erumpens, Opuntia spp., and Agave havardiana. These shrublands can have scattered individuals of Arbutus xalapensis or Arbutus arizonica. Common herbaceous associates include Muhlenbergia emersleyi, Bouteloua curtipendula, Bouteloua gracilis, and Muhlenbergia rigida. These shrublands are typically less than 2 m tall, are commonly associated with limestone, and often border, or occur as inclusions, in pinyon - oak - juniper woodlands.  Accession Code: VB.CC.17923.QUERCUSINTRICAT Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
