Name: A.611
Reference: EcoArt 2002
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.
