Name: Tiquilia hispidissima / Sporobolus nealleyi Dwarf-shrubland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association is primarily associated with secondary (alluvial deposited) gypsum outcrops that commonly occur as small patches in the bottoms of arid, alluvial basins in southern New Mexico (northern Chihuahuan Desert). This is a low-elevation type ranging from 3500-5000 feet but occasionally extending up to 6500 feet on hillslope outcrops of southerly aspects. It is associated with hot and dry environments of gypsiorthid soils, and hence vegetation cover is usually sparse. Sporobolus nealleyi and Tiquilia hispidissima dominate, often in association with other gypsophillic species such as Calylophus hartwegii and Selinocarpus lanceolatus (although forb diversity is generally low). Non-gypsophillic shrubs are sometimes common such as Atriplex canescens, Gutierrezia sarothrae, and Ephedra torreyana.  Accession Code: VB.CC.20128.TIQUILIAHISPIDI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
