Name: Sporobolus wrightii Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association includes saline grasslands occurring in the lower Rio Grande Valley, characterized by Sporobolus wrightii. This vegetation occurs at the base of many clay dunes (lomas). It may also form a continuous cover on low-elevation lomas with only scattered emergent shrubs. It often grades downward into vegetation dominated by Spartina spartinae, Spartina patens, Batis maritima, or Borrichia frutescens. Other species occurring in this community may include Spartina spartinae and emergent Yucca treculeana. This grassland occurs on clayey substrates at the wetland/upland boundary, and the hydrology is unclear.
