Name: Prosopis glandulosa - Atriplex spp. Shrubland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Shrublands on moderately saline, sandy soils in the Trans-Pecos and South Texas Plains. Composition varies with geographic location with Lycium berlandieri, Ziziphus obtusifolia, Opuntia spp., and Yucca elata are common shrub associates. In more saline areas, shrubs are more sparse and grasses and forbs are more common, including Sporobolus airoides, Distichlis spicata, and Sesuvium verrucosum. These shrublands may grade into grasslands dominated by Sporobolus airoides or Pleuraphis mutica (= Hilaria mutica) or be surrounded by a matrix of desert shrubland.
