Name: Atriplex obovata / Tidestromia carnosa Dwarf-shrubland Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This community occurs on flats in a 'badlands' landscape over gypseous saline Cretaceous clays in Brewster County, Texas; it may also occur in northern Mexico. A very sparse shrub layer consists of widely scattered individuals of Prosopis glandulosa var. torreyana and Opuntia leptocaulis. Atriplex obovata forms a sparse to locally moderately dense dwarf-shrub layer. Following rains, the annual Tidestromia carnosa can be locally abundant. Other species include Suaeda mexicana and Coryphantha ramillosa.  Accession Code: VB.CC.19176.ATRIPLEXOBOVATA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
