Name: Prosopis glandulosa Woodland Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This alliance includes a variety of associations dominated or codominated by tree-sized Prosopis glandulosa, usually with highly variable canopy closure. Typically, occurrences of associations in this alliance have an open canopy, generally with 25-60% canopy closure, of Prosopis glandulosa. However, some occurrences, or patches within occurrences, may have an essentially closed canopy, while others may have a very open canopy consisting of widely spaced tree individuals. This alliance is a heterogeneous mix of associations with little in common except dominance by Prosopis glandulosa. Associated species vary with climate and soil. In central and south Texas associated species can include Celtis pallida, Phaulothamnus spinescens, Ziziphus obtusifolia, Opuntia spp., Condalia hookeri, Zanthoxylum fagara, Acacia greggii, and Acacia farnesiana (= Acacia minuta ssp. minuta). Some of these woodlands occur in riparian areas and receive infrequent flooding.  Accession Code: VB.CC.18417.PROSOPISGLANDUL Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
