Name: Prosopis glandulosa var. glandulosa - Celtis pallida / Opuntia spp. - Xylothamia palmeri Woodland Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This community typically occurs on heavy clay soils over the Pleistocene Beaumont Formation, on inland sites near the coast of southern Texas. Prosopis glandulosa var. glandulosa 3-6 m in height provide 50-75% cover, sometimes mixed with Celtis pallida and relatively few other tall woody species; Acacia farnesiana (= Acacia smallii) is present in lower areas. Opuntia engelmannii var. lindheimeri, Opuntia leptocaulis, and Xylothamia palmeri (= Ericameria austrotexana) are typically common in the shrub layer, along with Ziziphus obtusifolia var. obtusifolia, Lantana urticoides (= Lantana horrida), Prosopis reptans, and other unpalatable species; shrub density is often highest under taller mesquite. Ground layer vegetation varies considerably with season and livestock stocking; important species include Nassella leucotricha (= Stipa leucotricha), Buchloe dactyloides, Bothriochloa longipaniculata, Sporobolus compositus (= Sporobolus asper), Panicum hallii, Tridens texanus, Aristida spp., Setaria spp., Malvastrum spp., Ratibida columnifera (= Ratibida columnaris), Ambrosia psilostachya, Abutilon spp., and Allowissadula lozanii. Dichanthium annulatum is a common non-native invader.  Accession Code: VB.CC.22630.PROSOPISGLANDUL Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
